Dominant Follicle?

A dominant follicle is a fluid-filled structure in the ovary that grows big enough to release a mature egg around day 14 of a 28-day menstrual cycle or around a week prior to the midpoint of a cycle through the process of ovulation.

A dominant follicle is also called a Graafian follicle.
