The Internal Sex Organs: The Ovaries

Location, form and function
The ovaries (female sex glands or gonads) are two walnut-sized bodies which are located inside the abdomen on either side of the uterus. The ovaries serve a double function:

1. They produce eggs which are released into the Fallopian tubes. 2. They produce hormones which are secreted directly into the bloodstream.
