H & E- The ovary is a almond shaped organ lined on its outer surface by a germinal epithelium of simple cuboidal cells. Immediately underlying the germinal epithelium occurs a tunica albuginea of connective tissue. The cortex of the ovary contains ovarian follicles in various stages of development. The medulla at the center of the ovary contains blood vessels and connective tissue.
