Verified step by step guidance

Begin by understanding the basic anatomy of the ovary. The ovary is divided into different regions: the cortex, medulla, and hilum.

The cortex is the outer layer of the ovary and is where the eggs (oocytes) and developing follicles are located. This is crucial for the process of ovulation and reproduction.

The medulla is the inner region of the ovary, which contains blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue. It does not contain eggs or follicles.

The hilum is the part of the ovary where blood vessels and nerves enter and exit. It is not involved in housing eggs or follicles.

The stroma refers to the connective tissue framework within the ovary, providing structural support but not directly involved in housing eggs or follicles.
