Well first let's start off to what they are. Ovaries are "two rounded organs" that are on both sides of the uterus and the contain ova, which are the female reproductive cells. So, every month the ovaries let go ova and it goes through the uterine tubes and gets ready for pregnancy. Unless it is fertilized it gradually disappears along with the extra walls of the uterus built during that process and the walls go out with your menstrual period. So, basically the ovaries hold all the ova and are a big part in your body.
