If occurs on both sides twins number of primordial follicles (1000s) Starts from primordial follicles born w finite this picture this is development/time lapsed: one of these follicles starts to develop. If you look at histological view of ovary, wont see: primordial follicles give rise to primary follicles which give rise to an oocyte, oocyte is surrounded by granulosa cells.
