Illustration of the ovaries. The ovaries are two female genital glands located on either side of the uterus. They present themselves as small oval masses, a little over 1 inch (3, 4 cm) in length, supported by ligaments. From puberty to menopause, the ovaries release ova and secrete sexual hormones, oestrogen and progesterone, following a cycle called the ovarian cycle. | |
