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.
The ovaries have 200,000 - 400,000 follicles, tiny sacks that contain the materials needed to produce mature eggs, or ova . The ovaries produce two major female hormones: estrogen and progesterone. The uterus is a hollow muscular organ located in the female pelvis between the bladder and rectum. The ovaries produce the eggs that travel through the fallopian tubes. Once the egg has left the ovary it can be fertilized and implant itself in the lining of the uterus. The main function of the uterus is to nourish the developing fetus prior to birth.
