The<unk> es are considered the female gonads. Each<unk>  is whitish in color and located alongside the lateral wall of the uterus in a region called the<unk> an fossa. The<unk> an fossa is the region that is bounded by the external iliac artery and in front of the ureter and the internal iliac artery. This area is about 4 cm x 3 cm x 2 cm in size. The<unk> es are surrounded by a capsule, and have an outer cortex and an inner medulla. The capsule is of dense connective tissue and is known as the tunica albuginea. Usually,<unk> ulation occurs in one of the two<unk> es releasing an egg each menstrual cycle. The side of the<unk>  closest to the fallopian tube is connected to it by infundibulopelvic ligament, and the other side points downwards attached to the uterus via the<unk> an ligament. Other structures and tissues of the<unk> es include the hilum. Ligaments The<unk> es lie within the peritoneal cavity, on either side of the uterus, to which they are attached via a fibrous cord called the<unk> an ligament. The<unk> es are uncovered in the peritoneal cavity but are tethered to the body wall via the suspensory ligament of the<unk>  which is a posterior extension of the broad ligament of the uterus. The part of the broad ligament of the uterus that covers the<unk>  is known as the mesovarium. The<unk> an pedicle is made up part of the fallopian tube, mesovarium,<unk> an ligament, and<unk> an blood vessels. Microanatomy The surface of the<unk> es is covered with membrane consisting of a lining of simple cuboidal-to-columnar shaped mesothelium, called the germinal epithelium. Micrograph of the<unk> an cortex from a rhesus monkey showing several round follicles embedded in a matrix of stromal cells. A secondary follicle sectioned through the nucleus of an oocyte is at the upper left, and earlier stage follicles are at the lower right. The tissue was stained with the dyes hematoxylin and eosin.The outer layer is the<unk> an cortex, consisting of<unk> an follicles and stroma in between them. Included in the follicles are the cumulus oophorus, membrana granulosa (and the granulosa cells inside it), corona radiata, zona pellucida, and primary oocyte. Theca of follicle, antrum and liquor folliculi are also contained in the follicle. Also in the cortex is the corpus luteum derived from the follicles. The innermost layer is the<unk> an medulla. It can be hard to distinguish between the cortex and medulla, but follicles are usually not found in the medulla. Follicular cells are flat epithelial cells that originate from surface epithelium covering the<unk> . They are surrounded by granulosa cells that have changed from flat to cuboidal and proliferated to produce a stratified epithelium. The<unk>  also contains blood vessels and lymphatics.
