PREPARED SLIDE FOR MICROSCOPE, ANIMAL TISSUE:- Mammal: Ovary

The ovaries are tiny organs that are encased in a thick connective tissue capsule called the tunica albuginea. The germinal epithelium is a basic squamous mesothelium that covers this. The ovary has a cortex, which contains the ovarian follicles, and a highly vascular medulla, which contains coiled arteries known as helicrine arteries. The oocytes form follicles and are surrounded by epithelial cells. The ovary has a large number of primordial follicles, which are usually located along the cortex's margins. At various phases of development, there are less follicles.
