granulosa cell layer in dogs

A layer of the ovarian follicle that consists of granulosa cells. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the granulosa cell layer is

A layer of the ovarian follicle that consists of granulosa cells. The atlas records it as a tissue at the tissue scale in the dog.

Where the granulosa cell layer is

It sits within the reproductive system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the granulosa cell layer connects to

The atlas records 8 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of gonad, ovarian follicle and ovary, and 1 more.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the granulosa cell layer. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as membrana granulosa, granulosa cell layer of ovarian follicle, membrana granulosa of ovarian follicle, ovary stratum granulosum, stratum granulosum of ovarian follicle and granulosa cell layer, and 1 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the granulosa cell layer?

It sits within the reproductive system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What does the granulosa cell layer connect to?

Part of: gonad, ovarian follicle, ovary and reproductive system.

Is the granulosa cell layer the same in other species?

This page describes the dog. The human record of the same structure sits beside it on /compare, over one shared model rather than two atlases built separately.
