Both types of reproductive organs produce hormones in addition to the production of ovum and sperm, respectively. The testes produce testosterone, and the ovaries produce estrogen and progesterone. Such hormones are responsible for control and onset of conception and the growth of offspring.

As per my little knowledge, the ovaries are endocrine glands. They secrete the estrogen and progesterone. Progesterone after the ovulation takes place and estrogen continuously. I do not know any exocrine function of the ovary. Ovum is released by ovary. It can not be called as secretion of the ovary.
