Follicle Structure Influences the Availability of Oxygen to the Oocyte in Antral Follicles
Figure 2
The model geometry used to represent the antral follicle. This geometry is described using polar coordinates () with axial symmetry. The origin of the geometry is taken to be the centre of the COC, and thus the origin varies with respect to the antrum and the follicle wall. The geometry is shown for (a) the COC entirely within the antrum and (b) the COC partially enclosed within the antrum and partially within the follicle wall, intersecting the inner boundary of this layer at .
