The process by which all but one primary ovarian follicle degenerates and are absorbed back into the ovary, allowing the surviving follicle body to develop into a corpus luteum following ovulation.

The process by which FSH triggers the development of primary follicles into secondary follicles which are ready for ovulation.

The process by which estradiol and luteinizing hormone interact in a positive feedback loop, severely heightening the level of LH and developing the secondary follicle into a tertiary follicle.

The process by which a follicle develops into a corpus luteum following ovulation, which will later release the hormone progesterone into the body.

The process by which the dominant follicle releases large amounts of estradiol during the late follicular phase, preparing the follicle for the LH surge.
