Mucosa
Broad ligament
Suspends and supports reproductive tract
Characteristics of ovaries
Paired; profound, predictable, cyclic changes; produce follicles and corpus luteum; palpate structure; observed by ultrasound
Tunica Albuginea
Outer connective tissue, covered with single layer of cuboidal cells
Characteristics of cortex
Outer zone, follicles, corpus hemorrhagicum (CH), corpus luteum (CL), corpus albicans (CA)
Characteristics of medulla
Central zone, blood and lymph vessel, nerves
Follicles
House for egg/oocyte/ovum
