Detailed explanation-1: -There are two ovaries, one on either side of the uterus. Ovaries make eggs and hormones like estrogen and progesterone. These hormones help girls develop, and make it possible for a woman to have a baby. The ovaries release an egg as part of a woman’s cycle.

Detailed explanation-2: -The female gonads, the ovaries, are a pair of reproductive glands located in the pelvis, one on each side of the uterus. The ovaries produce eggs and female hormones. In males, the two testes, or testicles, are male sex glands that are part of the male reproductive system.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ovaries are small, oval-shaped glands located on either side of your uterus. They produce and store your eggs (also called ovum) and make hormones that control your menstrual cycle and pregnancy. During ovulation, one of your ovaries releases an egg. If a sperm fertilizes this egg, you can become pregnant.

Detailed explanation-4: -A gonad, sex gland, or reproductive gland is a mixed gland that produces the gametes and sex hormones of an organism. Female reproductive cells are egg cells, and male reproductive cells are sperm. The male gonad, the testicle, produces sperm in the form of spermatozoa. The female gonad, the ovary, produces egg cells.
