31. FSH stimulates the growth of a tertiary follicle, and LH stimulates the production of estrogen by granulosa and theca cells. 32. The theca which is a bit smaller has an edge which fits slightly inside the corresponding edge of the larger theca. 33. The theca which is a bit smaller has an edge which fits slightly inside the corresponding edge of the larger theca . 34. In females, synthesis of estrogens starts in theca interna cells in the ovary, by the synthesis of androstenedione from cholesterol. 35. The theca is a secreted covering predominately composed of cellulose or other polysaccharides ( Adl, et al ., 2005 ). 36. After rupture of the mature ovarian follicle, the theca interna cells differentiate into the theca lutein cells of the corpus luteum. 37. After rupture of the mature ovarian follicle, the theca interna cells differentiate into the theca lutein cells of the corpus luteum. 38. Cysts may develop their wall immediately within the theca , and such cysts are called "'proximate " '. 39. The mature, dark colored sporangia are released from the dead dinoflagellate cells by the breakup of the host's theca . 40.
