What is "ovary"?
The ovary refers to a pair of almond-shaped organs located on either side of the uterus in the female reproductive system. They serve as the primary site for the production, development, and release of eggs (ova) during each menstrual cycle. In addition to their role in fertility, the ovaries also produce hormones, including estrogen and progesterone, which regulate the menstrual cycle, support pregnancy, and contribute to the development of secondary sexual characteristics, such as breast growth and body hair distribution. The ovaries play a vital role in female reproductive health and overall hormonal balance.
