The follicles respond by pumping out estrogen.

卵的成熟，会进一步促进雌性激素的。

When they reach the ovaries, they encourage the internal egg cells to grow and mature.

当它们到达卵巢后，会促进子卵巢卵的发育和成熟。

Progesterone is produced by the empty follicle in the ovary.

These hormones travel to the follicles within the ovaries.

这些激素最进入卵巢的卵。

FSH is produced by the body to stimulate the follicles in the ovaries that produce eggs.

卵刺激素由体产生，以刺激卵巢的卵产生卵子。

The estrogen then stops FSH being produced, so that only one egg matures in the cycle.

然后雌激素会阻止卵刺激素的产生，这样在一个周期只有一个卵子成熟。

The follicles are small clusters of granulosa and theca cells that protect the developing egg cell.

卵是由颗粒细胞、卵膜细胞组成的小簇，保护发育的卵细胞。

LH binds to LH receptors on theca cells and they make progesterone and androstenedione.

LH与卵膜细胞上的LH受体结合，产生黄体酮和雄烯二酮。

The follicle that has the most FSH receptors hoards most of this hormone, and becomes the dominant follicle.

只有有最多FSH受体的卵积蓄最多的FSH，在这个过程成为优势卵。

At birth, a woman has millions of follicles, each ready and excited to do its job.

女性在出生时，体就有数以百万计的卵，每个卵都跃跃欲试，准备完成它的工作。

第一类是功能性囊肿，由正常、周期性的卵发育过程被打乱而导致。

So early in the follicular phase, a small rise in FSH, leads to a large increase in estrogen.

在卵期的早期，FSH的量小幅升高，引起雌激素的大量增加。

Fertility experts regard a high FSH level as a key indicator of having a low egg count.

生育专家将卵刺激素的数值作为重要指标来衡量女性体卵子数量，数值高则卵子数量少。

Between the follicles is the stromal or connective tissue cells, and lining the ovary is a layer of epithelial cells.

卵之间的物质是基质细胞，也是结缔组织细胞，卵巢的侧排列着一层上皮细胞。

Over time, many ovarian follicles degenerate, and the ones that remain become less and less sensitive to gonadotropin stimulation.

随着时间的推移，许多卵巢卵退化，而余下的卵对促性腺激素的刺激变得越来越不敏感。

More mature follicles produce amh in order to slow down the growth of those eggs remaining in the ovaries.

更成熟的卵会产生 amh，以减缓卵巢剩余卵子的生长。

During the follicular phase of each menstrual cycle, the few fast-growing graafian follicles enter the third stage of development.

每次月经周期的卵期，少数生长迅速的格拉夫卵，会进入成熟的第三个阶段。

Beginning at puberty, the theca cells of the ovary respond to luteinizing hormone by producing progesterone and androstenedione.

青春期开始后，卵巢的卵膜细胞对LH产生应答，生成孕酮和雄烯二酮。

After menstruation, the lining of the uterus thickens up again in preparation for a fertilized egg, and inside the ovary follicle develops.

月经后，子宫膜再次增厚，为受精卵做准备，卵巢的卵发育。
