1 But the next assault is just around the corner, and the band's talent for stringing out the quiet moments makes the next shower of blows rain down even harder. 2  Blows rained down on me from all sides and I fell to the floor under a merciless avalanche of abuse.
The ovaries are located in the pelvis, one on each side of the uterus. Each ovary is about the size and shape of an almond. The ovaries produce eggs (ova) and female hormones. During each monthly menstrual cycle, an egg is released from one ovary.
(In men, the testicles are the gonads and they produce sperm .) Generally, the female body will have two ovaries, though the female body can survive with one or no ovaries. The ovaries are roughly four cubic centimeters in size, which is about the size of a walnut. They are located at the ends of the uterine tubes, which are connection tubes that attach to the uterus. In the female body, the ovaries (and other reproductive organs) are located in the abdominopelvic cavity.
