Key Concepts

Ovaries

Ovaries are the female gonads that produce oocytes (egg cells) and secrete essential sex hormones like estrogen and progesterone. They play a critical role in both the reproductive system and overall hormonal balance in female organisms.

Gonads

Gonads are the primary reproductive organs in animals that produce gametes, which are essential for sexual reproduction. They also secrete hormones that influence the development of secondary sexual characteristics and regulate reproductive functions.
