A biological process that directly contributes to the process of producing new individuals by one or two organisms. The new individuals inherit some proportion of their genetic material from the parent or parents. The type of sexual cycle seen in female mammals, with physiologic changes in the endometrium that recur at regular intervals during the reproductive years. The menstrual cycle process by which one central cavity separating the oocyte/cumulus complex from mural granulosa and theca cells is formed during the various stages of oogenesis. The process whereby a subpopulation of granulosa cells surrounding the oocyte acquires the specialized features of an ovarian cumulus cell. Increase in size of antral follicles due to cell proliferation and/or growth of the antral cavity. A developmental process by which a progressive change in the state of some part of an organism specifically contributes to its ability to form offspring. A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an integrated living unit: an anatomical structure (which may be a subcellular structure, cell, tissue, or organ), or organism over time from an initial condition to a later condition. 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. The increase in size or mass of an entire organism, a part of an organism or a cell, where the increase in size or mass has the specific outcome of the progression of the organism over time from one condition to another. Increase in size of the cumulus surrounding the oocyte including change in morphology due to proliferation and dispersion of cumulus cells. 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. Any process pertinent to the generation and maintenance of rhythms in the physiology of an organism. The increase in size or mass of an entire organism, a part of an organism or a cell.
