Structure of the ovary.—The ovary consists of stroma, composedof connective tissue witli blood-vessels, nerves, and plain muscularfibres, and it has an outer epithelial covering, in which are embeddedGraafian follicles containing ova. Epithelium and stroma.—The external surface of the ovary is of awhitish colour, and in early life is comparatively s
