Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Eggs (ova) are made in the ovaries, and sperm in the testicles. The ovaries and testicles (gonads) also make sex hormones.
Detailed explanation-3: -All of the 400, 000 egg cells a woman will ever produce are already present in her ovaries when she is born, although the eggs are in an undeveloped form. The average age that girls begin to menstruate is 12 years old. Each menstrual cycle occurs approximately every twenty-eight days.
