* Contains from 500 to several thousand primary [[The_Ovary_-_Oocytes_- Anatomy & Physiology|oocytes]].
* Contains from 500 to several thousand primary [[Oogenesis - Anatomy & Physiology|oocytes]].
* [[The_Ovary_-_Follicles_- Anatomy & Physiology|Follicles]] are '''pedunculated''', suspended by a stalk containing smooth muscle that has a rich vascular and nerve supply.

** Large, pendulous [[The_Ovary_-_Follicles_- Anatomy & Physiology|Follicles]] may contact the [[Avian_Digestive_Tract_- Anatomy & Physiology|stomach]], [[Spleen_- Anatomy & Physiology|spleen]] and [[Avian_Intestines_- Anatomy & Physiology|intestines]].

* Ovum resides here for '''15-30 minutes'''.
* Ovum resides here for '''15-30 minutes'''.
* '''Fertilization''' must take place in the funnel section of the Infundibulum before the [[The_Ovary_-_Oocytes_- Anatomy & Physiology|oocyte]] gets surrounded by [[Egg Composition and Formation - Anatomy & Physiology#Albumin|albumin]].
