Question

Mature mammalian follicle is known as

• A. Graffian follicle
• B. Ovarian follicle
• C. Corpus luteum
• D. Corpus albicans

Answer 1

The correct option is A Graffian follicle

The female mammals are characterized by cyclic changes in reproductive tract and ovaries, regulated by some hormones like FSH and LH. Every month, one ovarian follicle matures, ruptures and releases its ovum into the peritoneal cavity and this ovarian follicle is called as Graffian follicle. Therefore, the term Graffian follicle is used for a mature follicle in the mammalian ovary.

So, the correct answer is option A.
