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).
