The ovaries produce and release eggs (oocytes) into the female reproductive tract at the mid-point of each menstrual cycle. They also produce the female hormones oestrogen and progesterone. Alternative names Ovary.
The ovaries produce estrogen and progesterone in women. Both play an important role in the menstrual cycle: estrogen stops FSH production and stimulates LH release by the pituitary gland. Progesterone maintains the uterusâ lining. Men also produce estrogen, though at lower levels, and this is done through changing testosterone into estrogen with an enzyme.
