  • to produce ova in females
  • They Hold & Release Eggs
  • The ovaries are a pair of female reproductive organs. They are located in the pelvis, one on each side of the uterus. The ovaries are connected to each other by the Fallopian tubes. Each ovary is about the size and shape of an almond.
  • The ovaries have two functions: they produce eggs (also called ova) and female hormones.

A baby girl is born with two ovaries and in those ovaries all the eggs she will ever have are already there. The ovaries store the eggs for a lifetime of sexual fertility. One egg is released about every 28 days to be prepared for fettilization.
