ovarian sheath [FBbt_00004896]
A tubular structure which surrounds the ovarian basement membrane (tunica propria) around each ovariole (Cummings, 1974). The main part of the sheath is a layer consisting mainly of circular and longitudinal muscle fibers and tracheoles (Cummings, 1974). This is sandwiched between two thin, acellular elastic membranes (Cummings, 1974). The ovarian sheath, which surrounds each ovariole, is distinct from the peritoneal sheath, which surrounds each ovary.
