female germline cyst [FBbt_00007137]

A cyst of female germ cells interconnected by ring canals. Each cyst originates from a single cystoblast which divides to form 16 cyst cells. These become enveloped in a follicle cell epithelium as they pass through region 2 of the germarium. Cysts that have left the germarium are termed egg chambers.
