Descriptor células tecales
Entry term(s) células intersticiales ováricas
Scope note: Células aplanadas del estroma ovárico que forman una vaina o teca por fuera de la lámina basal que recubre al FOLÍCULO OVÁRICO. Las células del estroma o intersticiales tecales son esteroidogénicas, y producen primariamente ANDRÓGENOS los cuales sirven como precursores de los ESTRÓGENOS en las CÉLULAS DE LA GRANULOSA.
