Definition
English
:
Supporting cells for the developing
female
gamete in the OVARY. They are derived from the coelomic
epithelial cells
of the gonadal ridge.
Granulosa cells
form a single layer around the OOCYTE in the primordial
ovarian follicle
and advance to form a multilayered
cumulus
oophorus surrounding the OVUM in the Graafian follicle. The major functions of
granulosa cells
include the production of
steroids
and LH receptors (RECEPTORS, LH).
