Question

Mesovarium is the peritoneal covering of
(a)Ovary
(b)Testis
(c)Kidney
(d)Liver

Answer 1

Hint: It is present in pairs in the female body from which eggs are formed. It also made hormone estrogen and progesterone which plays a major role in development of female traits.

Complete answer:
The ovary is present in the female body which contains the ova or primordial germ cell having a haploid number of chromosomes that is 23, X, and can be fertilized either by 23, X, or 23, Y number of the chromosome containing sperm. The mesothelium or mesovarium and also known as germinal epithelium surrounds the ovary. The ovary consists of an outer cortex and inner medulla. Both the ovary and fallopian tube are supported and held in place by a broad ligament of connective tissue with the vascular supply. The peritoneal layer covering the ovary is known as mesovarium.

Additional Information: -The outer cortex consists of stroma or interstitium which is composed of small fusiform cells that can transform under the hormonal influence to support the developing ova.
-The central medullary portion of the ovary contains abundant blood vessels in connective tissue.
-At menopause, the ovary loses its potential for regular hormonal stimulation and atrophies.

So, the correct answer is, ‘Ovary.’

Note: -Hormones like inhibin and relaxing are also produced by the ovaries.
-Oogenesis is the process of formation of gametes in the ovary begins before females are born.
-Most ovarian tumors are driven from epithelium where CA- 125’’ is the tumor marker present on the surface of the epithelial tumors of the ovary.
