Question

Describe the function of functional anatomy of mammalian ovary

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The primary function of the ovaries is to nurture and prepare oocytes (eggs) for the process of ovulation (rupture and release of the mature egg from the ovary). Once an egg is released, it migrates down a fallopian tube to the uterus. While in the fallopian tube, an egg may be penetrated and fertilized by a sperm. If an egg becomes fertilized, it will implant in the wall of the uterus. The processes of ovulation and fertilization are controlled largely by cells in the ovaries that produce and secrete hormones. These hormones also are essential for female sexual development and are necessary to sustain a pregnancy. In humans they also serve to regulate the menstrual cycle (periodic shedding of the uterine lining).
