Question

Stroma is?

• A. Gall bladder stone
• B. Ovarian follicle
• C. Connective tissue inside ovary
• D. Connective tissue around seminiferous tubules

Answer 1

The correct option is C Connective tissue inside ovary

The stroma of the ovary is a type of connective tissue abundantly supplied with blood vessels, consisting for the most part of spindle-shaped stroma cells. These appear similar to fibroblasts. The stroma also contains ordinary connective tissue such as reticular fibers and collagen. Ovarian stroma differs from typical connective tissue as it contains a high number of cells. The stoma cells are distributed in such a way that the tissue appears to be whorled. Stromal cells associated with maturing follicles may acquire endocrine function and secrete estrogens. The entire ovarian stroma is highly vascular.
So, the correct option is C.
