MICROANATOMY

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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The ovaries contain the female gamete cell, called the oocyte. In non medical terms, the oocyte is called the “egg”. The ovaries are filled with follicles. Follicles are fluid-filled structures in which the oocyte (also called egg) grows to maturity.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most people will have a menstrual period 10 to 16 days after ovulation. During this phase, the following events occur: The rise in estrogen from the dominant follicle triggers a surge in the amount of luteinizing hormone (LH) that your brain produces. This causes the dominant follicle to release its egg from the ovary.
