PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The gonads, the primary reproductive organs, are the testes in the male and the ovaries in the female. These organs are responsible for producing the sperm and ova, but they also secrete hormones and are considered to be endocrine glands.

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 a pair of ova-producing organs (that is, they produce egg cells) that maintain the health of the female reproductive system. The ovaries, like their male counterpart, the testes, are known as gonads. This simply means they are the primary reproductive organs.

Detailed explanation-4: -The ovaries are the female gonads, and so are the site of gametogenesis. They sit laterally to the uterus, and closely adjacent to the fimbriae of the fallopian tubes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Most people think of the gonads as the male testicles. But both sexes have gonads: In females the gonads are the ovaries, which make female gametes (eggs). The male gonads make male gametes (sperm). When a baby girl is born, her ovaries contain hundreds of thousands of eggs, which stay inactive until puberty begins.
