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 play two central roles in the female reproductive system by acting as both glands and gonads. Acting as glands, the ovaries produce several female sex hormones including estrogens and progesterone. Estrogen controls the development of the mammary glands and uterus during puberty and stimulates the development of the uterine lining during the menstrual cycle.
