The tubes are formed of a fibrousmembrane, 0-020—0024 thick, and of a single layer of pale,cylindrical, probably ciliated cells, and are of interest only asthe remains of an embryonic structure. The arteries of the ovary, derived from the aa. spermaticaand uterina, and forming numerous minute trunks betweenthe lamella of the broad ligaments, enter from the inferiorborder of the ovary, run in a serpentine course in the internalportion of the stroma, and terminate partly in the stromaitself and in the t. albuginea, but chiefly in the walls ofthe Graafian follicles, where they form an exterior morecoarse, and an inner finer plexus, which extends as far as themembrana granulosa.
