The inner medulla and outer cortex of the human ovary have ambiguous borders. Blood arteries and nerves are found in the medulla, whereas growing follicles are found in the cortex. Follicles in various stages of development can be seen in this ovary. A corpus luteum, the remains of a follicle that has burst and released its ovum into the vaginal tract, is also evident.
