A splitting takes place among the cells of thezona granulosa, and a space is formed which becomes filled with fluidknown as the liquor folliculi (fig. 151). A special group of zonagranulosa cells always surrounds the ovum and attaches it to the peripheryof the follicle. This group of cells is called the discus proligerus(figs. 152-3). The zona granulosa cells secrete more and more liquorfolliculi so that the follicle increases in size and bulges towards the freesurface of the ovary.

The pressure against the tunica albuginea causes 154 GYNECOLOGICAL PATHOLOGY it to give way, the wall of the follicle also gives way ; and the ovum,surrounded by the discus proligerus, is extruded into the peritonealcavity, from which it is taken up into the fimbriated end of the tube.
