Germinal Epithelium (female)
The ovarian surface epithelium, also called the germinal epithelium of Waldeyer, or coelomic epithelium, 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. Composition These cells are derived from the mesoderm during embryonic development and are closely related to the mesothelium of the peritoneum. The germinal epithelium gives the ovary a dull gray color as compared with the shining smoothness of the peritoneum; and the transition between the mesothelium The mesothelium is a membrane composed of simple squamous epithelium, simple squamous epithelial cells of mesodermal origin, which forms the lining of several body cavities: the pleura (pleural cavity around the lungs), peritoneum (abdominopelvic ... of the peritoneum and the cuboidal cells which cover the ovary is usually marked by a line around the anterior border of the ovary.
