MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -One of a pair of female glands in which the eggs form and the female hormones estrogen and progesterone are made. These hormones play an important role in female traits, such as breast development, body shape, and body hair. They are also involved in the menstrual cycle, fertility, and pregnancy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Persistent Müllerian Duct Syndrome (PMDS) is a disorder of sexual development that affects males. Males with this disorder have normal male reproductive organs, though they also have a uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes and vagina, which are female reproductive organs.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ovaries are about the size and shape of an almond, and they sit just above the fallopian tubes-one ovary on each side of the uterus. In a fertile female, either the right or left ovary produces a mature egg for fertilization every month during ovulation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Each woman has two ovaries. They are oval in shape, about four centimetres long and lie on either side of the womb (uterus) against the wall of the pelvis. They are held in place by ligaments attached to the womb but are not directly attached to the rest of the female reproductive tract, e.g. the fallopian tubes.
