In the medulla of the mammalian ovary near the hilus are small masses of blind tubules or solid cords—the rete ovarii—which are homologous with the rete testis in the male. The microscopic right ovary of birds usually consists only of medullary tissue. The rete ovarii is important in the control of meiosis in the maturing ovary.
Sex organs are typically differentiated into male and female types. In animals (including humans), the male sex organs include the testicles, epididymides, and penis; the female sex organs include the clitoris, ovaries, oviducts, and vagina. The testicle in the male and the ovary in the female are called the primary sex organs. [1]
A.—Diagram of the primitive urogenital organs, from 'Diagrams to show the development of male and female generative organs from a common type' * w, w. Right and left Wolffian ducts. The observable, visual differences become apparent between male or the female reproductive organs are not seen initially.
One difference between the glans penis and the glans clitoridis is that the glans clitoridis packs nerve endings into a volume only about one-tenth the size of the glans penis. Therefore, the glans clitoridis has greater variability in cutaneous corpuscular receptor density (1-14 per 100× high-powered field) compared with the glans penis (1-3 ...
The ovary (from Latin ōvārium 'egg') is a gonad in the female reproductive system that produces ova; [1] when released, an ovum travels through the fallopian tube/oviduct into the uterus. There is an ovary on the left and the right side of the body.

At least 592 cases were reported after the alert was first raised by Congo's health ministry on Oct. 29. The ministry said the disease had a fatality rate of 6.25%.
The pampiniform plexus (from Latin pampinus 'tendril' and forma 'form') is a venous plexus – a network of many small veins found in the human male spermatic cord, and the suspensory ligament of the ovary. In the male, it is formed by the union of multiple testicular veins from the back of the testis and tributaries from the epididymis.
