title: [Functional morphology of the ovary appendages].
abstract: The dimensions and structure of parovarium (PO) were studied in women of different age groups. It is established that PO size increases up to fertile age and is reduced after the menopause. Epitheliocytes of PO tubules in women of fertile age are characterized by high synthetic and secretory activity. The shape of epitheliocytes changes from cuboidal in neonates to columnar in fertile age and to squamous--after the menopause.
