The mesovarium is the portion of the broad ligament of the uterus that suspends the ovaries. The ovary is not covered by the mesovarium; rather, it is covered by germinal epithelium
Germinal epithelium
The ovarian surface epithelium, also called the germinal epithelium of Waldeyer, is a layer of simple squamous-to-cuboidal epithelial cells covering the ovary. The term germinal epithelium is a misnomer as it does not give rise to primary follicles.

The ovarian surface reflects the stage of the reproductive cycle and may have grossly visible follicles and corpora lutea. In rodents and dogs, several follicles and corpora lutea may develop during each cycle. These structures often protrude from the ovarian surface, thus giving rise to the grape-like appearance of the ovary. In primates, multiple primary follicles develop with each cycle but usually one follicle will be selected to become the preovulatory follicle, resulting in only a few large protrusions from the ovarian surface.
