ovaries produce steroid hormones. The follicular part of ovary mostly produces estrogen. Also, androgen and progestin are produced in the follicular part of the ovary.
The ovaries function cyclically. One of the follicles while maturing becomes dominant and prevents others from maturing. The ovum matures in the dominant follicle. When the follicle completely matures, it bursts and the egg cell moves through fallopian tubes to the uterus. The process is called ovulation. If the egg is fertilized by a sperm, the egg implants into the lining of the uterus and begins to develop into a fetus. If it is not fertilized, it is shed from the body along with the lining of the uterus during menstruation.
The menstrual cycle lasts about 28 days (it may vary from 25 up to 31 days).
The ovaries go through age-related changes. There are about a million of the gametes in the ovary of the female fetus at the 10th week. It is the maximal possible number. Eggs are reducing in number throughout the life. The reproductive age for women is shorter than for men (15-45). Pregnancy may take place during this period when the egg is released cyclically. Eggs are limited in women while the sperm cells are produced constantly in men. The development of the female reproductive system begins in the womb.
