Tunica albuginea (ovaries)

The tunica albuginea is a layer of condensed fibrous tissue on the surface of the ovary.

The tunica albuginea is composed of short connective tissue fibers.

[1] It is thinner than the tunica albuginea of the testis, and its thickness varies across the ovary.

[1] The tunica albuginea is formed late in prenatal development.
