The follicles respond by pumping out estrogen.

泡的成熟，会进一步促进雌性激素的分泌。

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

当它们到达巢后，会促进巢内泡的发育和成熟。

Progesterone is produced by the empty follicle in the ovary.

体酮是由巢中的空泡产生的。

All the developing follicles secrete loads of estrogen, which negatively inhibits pituitary FSH.

所有发育中的泡分泌足量的雌激素，通过负反馈作用抑制垂体分泌FSH。

These hormones travel to the follicles within the ovaries.

这些激素最终进巢内的泡中。

This is when the ruptured follicle forms in the corpus luteum.

这时破裂的泡在体中形成。

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

泡刺激素由体内产生，以刺激巢中的泡产生。

That's when the nearly 2 centimeter sized follicle ruptures and releases the tiny secondary oocyte into the fallopian tube.

此时将近2cm的泡破裂，向输管释放出次级泡。

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

青春期开始后，巢的泡膜细胞对LH产生应答，生成孕酮和雄烯二酮。

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

然后雌激素会阻止泡刺激素的产生，这样在一个周期内只有一个成熟。

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

泡之间的物质是基质细胞，也是结缔组织细胞，巢的内侧排列着一层上皮细胞。

First, there are functional cysts, which result when the normal, cyclic development of the ovarian follicles is disrupted.

第一类是功能性囊肿，由正常、周期性的泡发育过程被打乱而导致。

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

生育专家将泡刺激素的数值作为重要指标来衡量女性体内数量，数值高则数量少。

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

只有有最多FSH受体的泡积蓄最多的FSH，在这个过程中成为优势泡。

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

LH与泡内膜细胞上的LH受体结合，产生体酮和雄烯二酮。

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

在泡期的早期，FSH的量小幅升高，引起雌激素的大量增加。

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

泡是由颗粒细胞、泡膜细胞组成的小簇，保护发育中的细胞。

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

女性在出生时，体内就有数以百万计的泡，每个泡都跃跃欲试，准备完成它的工作。

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

每次月经周期的泡期，少数生长迅速的格拉夫泡，会进成熟的第三个阶段。

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，许多巢泡退化，而余下的泡对促性腺激素的刺激变得越来越不敏感。
