A cross-section of the ovary will show the number of its cells.
The anthers are best seen in the unopened buds, and the ovary in old flowers or those gone to seed.
When there is pus in the ovary, resection, in the opinion of gynecologists at present, is not an advisable operation; the ovaryshould be removed.
More commonly only the surface of the ovary is affected, but frequently the infection gets into the body of the ovary and causes oophoritis.
Carmichael, Valtorta, and McIlroy[188] discovered in animals a compensatory hypertrophy of the remaining ovary after one ovary had been removed.
As soon as the ovum breaks through the surface of the ovary it has all the qualities of the spermatozoon except locomotion.
The ovum breaks through the surface of the ovary into the pelvic cavity, passes, probably on a capillary layer of fluid, into the fimbria ovarica and thence into the infundibulum, whence it moves along slowly into the uterus.
There is no objection to the removal of a tube or an ovary when such removal is absolutely necessary, but the necessity must be clearly evident.
When infected material escapes through the distal end of the tube, perioophoritis develops, and the ovary becomes adherent to the tube and other adnexa.
Boldt[191] had only one bad result in forty-five resections where a part of the ovary was saved.
The ovary then swells and there is a tendency to the formation of retention and other cysts, or an abscess of the ovary.
After such an operation menstruation ceases, and in the removal of the uterus the blood supply to the ovary is interfered with so that the ovaries degenerate.
The ovary corresponds to the testicle, and the Fallopian tube to the vas deferens.

A tube, or duct, for the passage of ova from the ovary to the exterior of the animal or to the part where further development takes place.
The ovules may be readily found in the ovary or young pod of a wall-flower, the placentas forming four lines, running longitudinally down the interior of the pod.
The ovary by its growth and enlargement becomes the fruit.
As the ovary or fruit approaches maturity, the petals and stamens wither and fall off, the calyx often remaining, and being sometimes adherent to the ovary, at others free or unattached to it.
The thyroid belongs to the same class of ductless glands as the ovary, and, as Bland Sutton and others have insisted, the analogies between the thyroid and the ovary are very numerous and significant.
Each blossom lasts but a single day; the upper portion, withering, leaves the base of the perianth to harden about the ovary and protect the solitary seed.

About three months ago the doctor turned the X-ray on me to see what was the matter and found that I had an abscess near my ovary and in a place that if it had broken would have killed me right away.
The Fallopian tube conveys the sperm of the male from the uterus to the ovary, and also takes the germ-cell (or ovule, or egg) from the ovary to the uterus.
The last time I came around I began to have that pain in my right ovary and it lasted a week and I have been flowing for a week.
It is a peculiar tube in that it terminates in a number of fringe-like processes, one of which is always attached to the ovary itself.
In each ovary are large numbers of cells, ovules, or eggs, one of which, at least, is supposed to pass into the uterine cavity with each menstruation.
Then the pain becomes more concentrated in the uterus itself, or sometimes in an ovary at the side.
The same cut horizontally, and the halves separated so as to show the interior of the cavity of the ovary o, with the free central placenta p, covered with ovules g.
The plants have a short rhizome and narrow or lanceolate basal leaves; and they are characterized by the ovary being often half-inferior.
Opium does not have as great tendencies to interfere with the structure of the ovary and testicles as alcohol, hence the greater danger of the opium habitue's children surviving.
In one-sided malformations of ovary or testicle (decreased or increased in size, or changed in shape or location) microbe inflammation almost always occurs at the seat of the anomaly.
In making longitudinal sections of the fertilised ovary before mentioned, I found the basal portion entirely destitute of ovules, their place being substituted by transparent cellular ramification of the placentae.
Again, if Eichler is right, the four vessels shown in the section of the ovary are misleading.
Darwin afterwards gave a doubtful explanation of this, and concluded that the ovary is dimerous.
Riley discovered the remarkable fact that the Yucca moth (Pronuba yuccasella) lays its eggs in the ovary of Yucca flowers, which it has previously pollinated, thus making sure of a supply of ovules for the larvae.
St.-Hilaire on difference inovary of same plants of.
The ovary lies exposed without dissection posterior to the kidney.
In early spring the females are greatly distended with ova, and the greater portion of the ovary may, with advantage, be removed.
The oviduct removed on the animal's left, and the ovary on its right.
The ripening follicle moves to the surface of the ovary and bursts, the ovum falls into the body cavity.
In the sandbox tree (Hura crepitans) of tropical America the ovary consists of numerous carpels, and forms when mature a capsule which splits with great violence and a loud report into a number of woody cocci.
Here there are definite organs--an ovary and a testis--producing the ova or the sperms.
As the seed is single for each flower, it is unnecessary for the ovary to open; the small, hardened, ten-angled calyx with its five thick lobes aid in protecting and distributing the seed within.
Flowers blue, ovary deeply 4-lobed separating into four warty achenes, each one brown, about 2.
The ovary was 5 mm long and the largest ovum was 1 mm in diameter.
Her ovary was 30 mm long, and the largest ovum was 3 mm in diameter.
Her largest ovum was one mm in diameter and theovary was 3.
The largest ovum was one mm in diameter and the largest ovary three mm long.
They flew back and forth overhead and called as if defending a territory but probably were not as we had been through this same area many times without either seeing or hearing these birds; also the female's ovary was undeveloped.
The right ovary has been removed--to show the abdominal opening of the right oviduct--by dividing the mesovarian peritoneal fold.
Each of these vessels also receives blood from the testis, epididymis, vas deferens and adrenal body in the male, and from the ovary and oviduct in the female.
The ovary is divided into three cells, each containing two seed-eggs.
A single flower occupies each bracteole, consisting of a two-celled ovaryand two styles.
These are the styles and stigmas, and on dissection of the budlike head, each pair of styles will be seen to spring from a two-celled ovary nestling between the bracts or scales of which the head is composed.
There are seven curved stamens, and in their midst a longer curved style proceeding from a roundish ovary with three cells.
The sepals of the female flower vary in number, from four to twelve, and enclose a rounded ovary with three styles, which are ripe and protruded before the males open.
The shell is the ovary that has become woody and hard; the ragged-edged leathery "shuck" is the enlarged bracts that surrounded the minute flower.
In speaking of the Wild Plums we directed attention to the fact that the ovary was within the flower; in the Pear (and the other members of the genus Pyrus) it is below the flower, hidden away in fact within the calyx-tube.
This is a point of some importance when one seeks to understand the different formation of the fruit in so closely related a species as the Apple, in which the ovary is "inferior," or below the flower.
As development of the ovary and seeds progresses, the cupule also grows, and ultimately entirely surrounds the cluster with the hedgehog-like coat in which the nuts are contained when ripe.
Individually regarded, the flowers will be found to consist of five sepals, five petals, an oval ovary with a style ending in a five-toothed stigma, and surrounded by a large number of stamens.
Each female flower consists of a calyx, invested by a number of overlapping scales, and enclosing an ovary with three styles.
The flowers have neither petals nor sepals, each consisting merely of an ovary with two slender styles.
The ovary develops into a large fleshy bur, with short stout spines, which splits into three valves when the dark-red glossy seeds are ripe.
Even when three stigmatic plumes are developed, as in some Bamboos, close investigation does not confirm the view that the ovary consists of more than one carpel.
Returning to the floral diagram, we see that the two lodicules, the three stamens and the ovary still remain to be explained.
The development of the ovary lends no support to the view that there are two carpels: the stigmatic plumes are not separate styles.
The phenomenon must be looked upon as a case of apogamy, since the development of sexual organs is entirely passed over; the parts which would normally have become ovary and stamens being transformed into leaves.
An ovum becomes mature, breaks through its Graafian follicle in the ovary and is set free.
A portion of an ovary or of both ovaries might become diseased, and thousands of ova might become unfit for fertilization; nature therefore puts in an extra reserve supply.
Besides the ova, the ovary manufactures what we call an internal secretion which is absorbed by the blood, and which is of the greatest importance to the woman herself.
The function of the Fallopian tubes or oviducts as they are sometimes called is to catch the ovum as it bursts through the ovary and to conduct it from the ovary into the uterus.
Before the follicle bursts, it swells and enlarges and reaches the surface of the ovary; the whole follicle is congested with blood, but at one point near the surface of the ovary it is pale and thin, and here the rupture takes place.
