The ova receives nourishment from the blood-vessels of the capsule, which vessels are branches of the ovarian artery. Structure.—The ovary contains very vascular cellulofibrous tissue. The ovum as it develops is attached to the ovarian body by means of a delicate white fibrous pedicle. When the yolk is mature it escapes from the enveloping fibrous capsule by a cleavage of the" capsule. The cleavage line is called the stigmen (Fig. 56, Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Kaupp, Benjamin Franklyn, 1874-.
