Explanation: Secondary follicles develop into tertiary, or Graafian follicles, characterized by a fluid-filled space called the antrum, and two layers of theca (theca interna and theca externa). The secondary oocyte develops a thick covering known as the zona pellucida. The Graafian follicle releases the oocyte through ovulation.
