Microscopic Photos of Reproductive System Tissue Slides 3 years, 11 months ago The ovaries are paired organs situated on either side of the uterus. They are attached on one edge, the hilus, to the broad ligament of the uterus by a fold of peritoneum, the mesovarium. Using the picture above, examine the overall topography of the ovary and note the numerous vessels which enter it via the broad ligament. The inner medulla (present in most slides) is highly vascular and composed of a loose connective tissue core. Examine the outer cortex of the ovary which is composed of stroma and numerous follicles in various stages of development. In picture above, note the layer of collagenous connective tissue, the tunica albuginea, just below the surface epithelium (mesothelium/serosa often misleadingly referred to as “germinal epithelium”) that covers the ovary.-
