It. ovario, gans being developed from a primitively indifferent genital gland common to both sexes, the differentiation of this structure into ovary or testes being the fundamental distinction of sex upon which all other sexual differences are consequent. The ovary consists of its proper stroma or ti ue peculiar to itself, in which the ova are produced, bound up in ordinary connective ti ue, supplied with appropriate ve els or nerves, and fixed in the abdominal cavity by means of a mesentery. With the ovary is usually but not always a ociated a special structure, the ovi duct, serving to convey away the eggs. The ovary is relatively largest in those animals which lay multitudinous eggs, as fishes, in which it is known as the roe. It is also large in oviparous animals which lay large meroblastic eggs with copious food-yolks, as birds and most reptiles. It is very small in mammals. The ovary in woman is a flattened ovoid body about 14 inches long, inch wide, and inch thick, resting on the broad ligament of the uterus and closely connected both with that organ and with the Fallopian tube or oviduct. Among invertebrates in which there is distinction of sex, the name ovary is applied to any part of the body which can be recognized as having the function of ovulation. Such organs are of almost endle ly varied character in all but the one e ential physiological respect. Several kinds of ovaries re ceive specific names; and in many cases the analogy to IMG:content-1999.png:[blocks in formation] IMG:content-2000.jpg:[merged small][ocr errors][merged small] um Con solid a; d, Fuchsia coccinea; e, Ra- nunculus bulbosus; f, Acer rubrum. ova to deltoid (o-vato-deltoid), a .
