The ovarian fossa is the region that is bounded by the external iliac artery and in front of the ureter and the internal iliac artery. This area is about 4 cm x 3 cm x 2 cm in size. [3] [4] The ovaries are surrounded by a capsule, and have an outer cortex and an inner medulla. [4]

The human ovary contains a population of primordial follicles. At 18–22 weeks post-conception, the female ovary contains its peak number of follicles (about 300,000 in the average case, but individual peak populations range from 35,000 to 2.5 million [3]). The size of the initial ovarian reserve is strongly influenced by genetics. [4]
