    This document summarizes and compares the layers and cell/tissue types found in the testes and ovaries of various organisms. It shows that: 1) All testes except for grasshopper frog testis have a tunica albuginea layer composed of fibrous connective tissue and mesothelial cells. 2) The ovaries of frog, cat, and human contain a germinal epithelium layer composed of simple squamous to cuboidal cells, as well as internal and external theca layers. 3) Key tissues found in ovaries include stroma, follicles, corpus lutea, and a periovarial membrane of squamous epithelial cells and adipocytes.
