| Description: | This is a low power micrograph of the surface of a feline ovary. The
ovary is divided into a cortex and medulla. The cortex contains the
follicles in various stages of development and related structures such
as corpus luteum etc. in a cellular stroma. The medulla contains mainly
connective tissue and blood vessels. The ovary is enclosed in a surface
epithelium. In this micrograph the follicles can be seen beneath the
surface. These are dwarfed by the very large corpus luteum which pushed
some of the blood vessels to one side. PK4892-27. Original mag. 5x
