Which structures would be found in an adult human ovary?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ovaries contain follicles, each of which contains an oocyte (immature egg cell). The oocyte begins as a primary oocyte, which undergoes meiosis to form a secondary oocyte and a polar body. The secondary oocyte may or may not be fertilized, while the polar body typically disintegrates. Therefore, an adult human ovary would contain primary oocytes and secondary oocytes. The other options are incorrect because oogonia (the precursor to oocytes) are only present during fetal development, ootids (immature eggs after meiosis II) are not typically found in the ovaries, and cytoplasmic bridges between oocytes are not a normal feature of mature ovarian follicles.
