Question

What is ovaries? what is the function of ovaries.
​

Answer 1

Ovaries are the female gonads — the primary female reproductive organs. These glands have three important functions: they secrete hormones, they protect the eggs a female is born with and they release eggs for possible fertilization.

Function

The ovaries have three functions. First, they shelter and protect the eggs a female is born with until they are ready for use. It is thought that women are born with their lifetime supply of eggs, but a study by the University of Edinburgh's School of Biological Sciences found that chemotherapy might spark the development of new eggs.

• A pair of small organs at the end of the Fallopian tubes responsible for the production and release of eggs.
• Ovaries usually alternate the release of eggs each month but its not a must, one ovary can release ova continuously for a few months.
• Ovaries produce and release two groups of sex hormones—progesterone and oestrogen.
• This release of the ova is called ovulation.
