Descriptor células de la granulosa
Scope note: Células de soporte implicadas en el desarrollo del gameto femenino en el OVARIO. Derivan de las células epiteliales celómicas de la cresta gonadal. En los folículos ováricos primordiales, las células de la granulosa forman una sola capa que rodea al OOCITO y al progresar forman el cúmulo oóforo, con múltiples capas celulares que envuelven al ÓVULO del folículo de Graaf. Las funciones más importantes de estas células son la producción de esteroides y de RECEPTORES LH.

Scope note: Supporting cells for the developing female gamete in the OVARY. They are derived from the coelomic epithelial cells of the gonadal ridge. Granulosa cells form a single layer around the OOCYTE in the primordial ovarian follicle and advance to form a multilayered cumulus oophorus surrounding the OVUM in the Graafian follicle. The major functions of granulosa cells include the production of steroids and LH receptors (RECEPTORS, LH).
