The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the female gonad over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the ovarian follicle over time, from its formation to the mature structure. A reproductive process that is a step in the formation and maturation of an ovum or female gamete from a primordial female germ cell. A process involved in the sexual cycle seen in female mammals, with physiologic changes in the endometrium that recur at regular intervals during the reproductive years. The type of sexual cycle seen in female mammals, with physiologic changes in the endometrium that recur at regular intervals during the reproductive years. Any process pertinent to the generation and maintenance of rhythms in the physiology of an organism. The stage in oogenesis when many layers of follicle cells surround the oocyte. There is a yolk nucleus (Balbiani's Body) near the germinal vesicle. Increase in size of follicles surrounded by two or more layers of granulosa cells up to the onset of antrum formation.
