6) Oocytes are found in the medulla of the ovary.

7) Mammalian ovaries produce oocytes until menopausia.

8) The oocyte maturation process consists in finishing meiosis and increases the cell size.

9) Somatic cells that form the follicle surround the oocyte during the maturation pocess.

10) The wall of the ovary follicles is made up of two layers of somatic cells: theca and stroma.

11) The Graafian follicles contain two oocytes. It was described by Graaf.

21) Prostate is a gland that releases its products into the urethra.

22) Cavernous bodies are vascular cavities that are filled or emptied according to sexual excitation.

F-1) The X indicate the medullary region of the ovary.

F-2) The dot line encloses the theca layer of the ovarian follicle.

F-3) Arrows point to germ cells.

F-4) Dot lines enclose the primordial oocytes (they did not begin the maturation process yet).
