The dominant follicle keeps secreting estrogen for the rest of the follicular phase.

卵泡期接下来的时间里，优势卵泡会不断分泌雌激素。

The follicle that has the most FSH receptors hoards most of this hormone, and becomes the dominant follicle.

只有有最多FSH受体的卵泡积蓄最多的FSH，在这个过程中成为优势卵泡。

The dominant follicle completes its third stage of development in a blaze of glory called ovulation.

优势卵泡就即将开始它成熟过程中的第三个阶段，这个光荣的阶段叫做排卵。

Alternatively, if the dominant follicle ruptures but then closes up again after ovulation, this is called a corpus luteal cyst.

还有一种情况，优势卵泡破裂了，但在排卵后再次闭合，形成黄体囊肿。

This triggers the primary oocyte within the dominant follicle to finally complete meiosis 1, and turn into a secondary oocyte, which has 23 chromosomes.

这使得优势卵泡里的初级卵母细胞最终完成第一次减数分裂，变成了有23条染色体的次级卵母细胞。

It usually takes about a week for a dominant follicle to get selected, and after that happens, the rest of the follicles regress and die off.

优势卵泡的筛选大概要经历一周；优势卵泡被募集后，其余的卵泡就会退化闭锁。

One type of functional cyst that can form before ovulation is a follicular cyst, which is a dominant follicle that fails to rupture and keeps growing.

其中一种功能性囊肿是在排卵前形成的滤泡囊肿，由优势卵泡未破裂而继续生长形成的。
