Broad ligament

A

Attached to the uterine tube (oviduct) and is continuous with the visceral peritoneum

33
Q

Structures of the medulla in the ovary

A

contains blood vessels, nerves, lymphatics,
muscle and connective tissue

34
Q

Structures of the cortex in the ovary

A

a connective tissue ‘stroma’ which contains
large numbers of germ cells

35
Q

Mesovarium

A

The ovary and its nearby uterine tube are enclosed in a section of
visceral peritoneum

36

Open end of the oviduct has modified finger-like processes
that ‘catch’ the ova

40
Q

Fimbriae

A

The finger-like projections at the open end of infundibulum
