An oocyte in a mature follicle. During the menstral cycle in females the ovary produces oocytes, which develop in follicles. As the follicle matures it increases in size, different cell types are recruited to the developing follicle to support the ooctye prior to ovulation. This follicle would also be called an antral follicle due to the large cavity (antral space).

成熟卵泡中的卵母细胞。在女性的月经周期中，卵巢产生卵母细胞，这些细胞在卵泡中发育。随着卵泡的成熟，其体积逐渐增大，多种细胞类型被招募至正在发育的卵泡中，以支持卵母细胞直至排卵。由于卵泡内存在较大的空腔（窦腔），此卵泡亦被称为窦腔卵泡。
