The zona pellucida surrounds a primary oocyte as it transitions to a secondary follicle, after which the theca surrounds the follicle. The antrum is subsequently formed around the maturing follicle, and it eventually bursts. After ovulation, the corpus luteum is established marking the beginning of the luteal stage of the ovulatory cycle.
