Explanation

Graffian follicles start out as immature structures called primordial follicles. These are present in females from birth and each contains a single egg cell or oocyte surrounded by a layer of follicular cells. At the beginning of every menstrual cycle, a number of primordial follicles grow larger and each one creates a fluid filled space around its ovum.
