NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The ovaries are two oval-shaped organs that lie to the upper right and left of the uterus. They produce, store, and release eggs into the fallopian tubes in the process called ovulation (av-yoo-LAY-shun). There are two fallopian (fuh-LO-pee-un) tubes, each attached to a side of the uterus.

Detailed explanation-2: -The eggs are stored within follicles in the ovary. Within a woman’s lifespan, large numbers of follicles and oocytes will be recruited to begin the growth and maturation process.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ovulation is when your ovary releases an egg for fertilization. Tiny finger-like structures called fimbriae help guide the egg through your fallopian tubes towards your uterus. During this journey through your fallopian tubes, an egg can be fertilized by sperm.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your ovaries are on the right and left sides of the uterus in your lower abdomen. Your ovaries are held in place by several muscles and ligaments in your pelvis. The ovarian ligament connects your ovaries to your uterus; however, your uterus and ovaries don’t touch.
