* As the [[The_Ovary_-_Folliculogenesis_- Anatomy & Physiology|follicular waves]] overlap with each other, several generations of [[Follicles - Anatomy & Physiology|follicles]] may be present at the same time.

* The small growing follicles are visible on the surface of the [[Ovary - Anatomy & Physiology|ovary]] as small slightly raised vesicles measuring between 2 - 4 mm, whereas the mature pre-ovulatory follicle measures between 13 - 20 mm [19,20] and is spherical, turgid, with a thin clear translucent wall and protrudes markedly from the [[Ovary - Anatomy & Physiology|ovarian surface]].
