It can be hard to understand the whole process of female germ cell and follicle development. It’s complicated, and it’s difficult to convey in words. This is one of those times when a picture can be so much more helpful than text.

So I took a stab at making a drawing of what happens to all the germ cells (and their cute little surrounding follicles) over the course of a woman’s lifetime.

Check it out and let me know what you think!

You guys have great ideas for how to put information into a visually appealing and memorable form, as evidenced by all the drawings and tables I’ve been getting for our little extra credit study guide project. I’m learning so much from you!
