| Tissue remodeling occurs as ovarian follicles undergo maturation or atresia. |
| This results in atresia of the dominant follicle and re-initiation of follicular recruitment. |
| Mary has pulmonary atresia, a condition that means the heart and the main blood vessel to the lungs have failed to develop properly. |
| In babies with esophageal atresia, the esophagus comes to a dead end instead of connecting to the stomach. |
| In fact, in one strain, the number of ovarian follicles actually increased with age from birth to young adulthood, despite marked atresia. |
| These structures form through a process of follicular atresia accompanied by hypertrophy of the follicular cells. |
