Question

The volume of the antrum is largest in a __________ follicle.
A)primary
B)secondary
C)primordial
D)polar
E)mature

Accepted Answer

The antrum is a fluid-filled cavity that develops in the granulosa cells of the follicle. It is the largest in a mature follicle, which is also called a Graafian follicle. As the follicle develops, the antrum grows in size and eventually becomes the dominant follicle that ovulates. Therefore, the best choice is E, mature follicle.
