Structure of the ovaries
The ovaries have 3 distinct parts, which are;
Epithelium: Which lines the inside and outside of the ovary (fig. 5). Usually, this part of the ovary has a dull surface and greyish appearance before the puberty, but at puberty, it becomes progressively scarred and distorted because of the repeated rapture of the ovarian follicles and discharge of oocytes by ovulation.
Stroma: Is the connective tissue within the ovary, it holds the structure together and also produces sex chromosome
Germ cells: These are the cells insides the ovary that develops in to eggs which are release into fallopian tubes (fig. 5)
