Explanation:

Ovaries are the primary female sex organs that produce the female gamete (ovum) and several steroid hormones (ovarian hormones).

The ovaries are located one on each side of the lower abdomen . Each ovary is about 2 to 4 cm in length and is connected to the pelvic wall and uterus by ligaments.

Each ovary is covered by a thin epithelium which encloses the ovarian stroma.

The stroma is divided into two zones – a peripheral cortex and an inner medulla.
