oocyte associated follicular epithelium [FBbt_00007030]

A columnar epithelium which surrounds the oocyte except at the anterior where the oocyte contacts the nurse cells. The basal side of this epithelium is associated with a basement membrane and faces away from the oocyte. The apical side faces the vitelline membrane, which separates this epithelium from the oocyte.
