But in process of growth and development 1 – 2 follicles begin to overtake significantly the others and to slow down their development. These large follicles are called dominant. When the ovum completely ripens, the dominant follicle bursts and the ovum gets into an abdominal cavity, and from there into a uterine tube. On site the burst follicle the temporary hemaden – a yellow body is formed. If in ovaries over 8 follicles ripen, then call this state multifollicular ovaries. Such state can be both norm option, and a symptom of a disease – a polycystosis of ovaries.
