The ovaries secrete estrogen and progesterone. Those two hormones regulate the menstrual cycle, the timing of when eggs are emitted from the ovaries and the preparation of the female for pregnancy. Estrogen is also important in the absorption of calcium and the regulation of emotions. Both estrogen and progesterone secretion are modulated by the pituitary gland through feedback mechanisms
