What is the function of the ovaries?
90596
produce eggs.a woman has two ovaries,each ovary produces one egg every 56 days.one produces this mounth,the other,the next mounth.so that you get one egg after every perion in the normal cercomistances.

Mammalian ovum is round and that helps in its movement through the fallopian tube since it does not have a tail like the sperm.  But the ovum is not smooth over the surface due to layers of cells.  Read through and i think my answer will help u..................The zona striata or zona pellucida is a thick membrane, which persists for some time after fertilization has occurred, and may serve for protection during the earlier stages of segmentation.  The phenomena attending the discharge of the ova from the follicles belong more to the ordinary functions of the ovary.

Generally fertility drugs are used to try to encourage the ovaries to produce ovum. \n\nIVF - fertilisation outside the womans body of an ovum which has been removed from her ovary.\n\nThere are other methods, but I just can't remember exactly what they are right now. Sorry.

A womans' ovaries contain all of the eggs that they will release throughout their lifetime. These eggs already exist in the ovaries when a baby girl is born, but don't start to be released until the girl begins to menstruate. Then, one is released every month, alternating sides every month. It travels down the fallopian tube into the uterus where it waits to be fertilized. An ovary is a very neccessary part of human reproduction.

The uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, vulva, clitorius.

The primary function of the uterus is in reproduction; the conduit for sperm transport, and the site for implantation of fertilized ova, placentation,  growth and development of the fetus, and parturition (labor and delivery).

During a bimanual exam of the female (ie a pelvic exam), if you are an obese women it is difficult to feel the uterus and the ovaries.\n\nfundus = the body of the uterus\nadnexa = ovaries\npalpate = to feel\nhabitus = overall body shape, ie fat skinny

Because unlike the human system, the female opposum has two separate uteri, one just below each ovary.  The forked penis allows sperm to be deposited into each fork of the vagina, thereby reaching both uteri.

The reproductive anatomy of the male human is largely external. The male gonads, called testes, hang in a sac of skin called the scrotum. The testes produce sperm, which, in humans, cannot survive long at body temperature. The penis is the erectile organ responsible for the transfer of sperm to the vagina of the female. Just before ejaculation, mature sperm travel from the epididymis, a coiled tube behind each testis, through a long duct called the vas deferens. Sperm leave the body in semen, a fluid produced by the seminal vesicles. The secretions of the prostate and Cowper’s glands provide additional nutrients for the sperm.\n\n\nAND THE OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT IT ARE AS BELOW.\n\n\nIn male vertebrates, the ducts are directly connected to the testes and include the epididymis, which lies attached to the testis and which transports sperm to the vas deferens. This carries the spermatozoa to the ejaculatory duct, which contracts to discharge sperm into the posterior urethra.\n\nIn most fishes, the ovary has a hollow expansion through which the ova pass into the cloaca. In most other vertebrates, however, no direct connection exists between the ovary and the oviducts that carry the ova into the cloaca or into the independent external opening. In mammals, when the Graafian follicle bursts, the egg falls towards the interior of the abdominal cavity. The oviduct (known in higher mammals as the Fallopian tube) has an open, funnel-shaped end located near the ovary, into which the mature egg is drawn by ciliary action. Occasionally, the egg misses the open end of the oviduct and falls into the abdominal cavity; such eggs are capable of being fertilized, resulting in ectopic pregnancies. In animals lower than marsupials the oviducts open directly into the cloaca; in marsupials and placental mammals, the oviducts, two of which are normally present, fuse at their cloacal ends to form a thick, muscular organ, the uterus or womb, in which the young develop, and a thinner channel, the vagina, which open to the exterior.\n\nFOR MORE INFORMATION YOU CAN CONTACT ME ON ad786_alcatel@yahoo.com or 0093799990020.\n\nThanks and Regards\n\nAssad.

because they don't have ovaries, which produce estrogen and progesterone, which causes the ovaries to develop eggs for possible fertilization.

A flower is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants (plants of the division Magnoliophyta, also called sperms). The flower structure contains the plant's organs, and its function is to produce seeds through reproduction. For the higher plants, seeds are the next generation, and serve as the primary means by which individuals of a species are dispersed across the landscape. After fertilization, portions of the flower develop into a fruit containing the seeds.\nThe function of a flower is to mediate the union of male and female gametes. The process is termed pollination. Many flowers are dependent upon the wind to move pollen between flowers of the same species. Others rely on animals (especially insects) to accomplish this feat. The period of time during which this process can take place (the flower is fully expanded and functional) is called anthesis.

Growths in the ovaries/tubes etc. [Maybe need a hysterectomy], or something in the colon-  always get more than one Drs. opinion for serious surgeries. My husband would have been wearing a bag on his side the rest of his life if we hadn't had a second opion[ from a Dr. at Cleveland Clinic.]  He is good today.

There are no definite answers, except that millions of years of evolution has deemed it necessary, but if you look at the organs function it can give you some clues.\n\nMost people know that that we breath in Oxygen and breath out Carbon Dioxide, but don't actually know why. Oxygen is essential to a process called "Cellular Respiration", but the short answer is that Oxygen is needed to bind to the waste products of our cells using sugar for food. When humans have to switch to fat for energy, like when your exercising, massive amounts of oxygen is needed to get rid of the waste products, so much so that two lungs can't even keep up. \n\nKidneys are the organs that regulate our bodies chemistry. Especially Ph levels that have to be in a very narrow range for our cells to stay alive. It's possible that a person could live with one of them, but by their nature, kidney's absorb poisons and damage themselves, and if you've only got one and it starts to have damage areas it would lead to death.\n\nGonads (ovaries/testicles) is a little more hazy. Ovaries take turns releasing eggs every other menstrual cycle. But I would guess that this is more a safety in redundancy type of thing, since biologically our body is little more than a system of keeping our sex cells alive to make sure we reproduce.\n\nHeart, liver and spleen, is simple, we only need one of them to perform the function that it does.

Estrogens (also oestrogens) are a group of steroid compounds, named for their importance in the oestrus cycle, and functioning as the primary female sex hormone. While estrogens are present in both men and women, they are usually present at significantly higher levels in women of reproductive age. They promote the development of female secondary sex characteristics, such as breasts, and are also involved in the thickening of the endometrium and other aspects of regulating the menstrual cycle.\n\nEstrogen is produced primarily by developing follicles in the ovaries, the corpus luteum and the placenta. Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) stimulate the production of estrogen in the ovaries. Some estrogens are also produced in smaller amounts by other tissues such as the liver, adrenal glands and the breasts. These secondary sources of estrogen are especially important in post-menopausal women.\n\nSynthesis of estrogens starts in theca interna cells in the ovary, by the synthesis of androstenedione from cholesterol. Androstenedione is a substance of moderate androgenic activity. This compound crosses the basal membrane into the surrounding granulosa cells, where it is converted to estrone or estradiol, either immediately or through testosterone. The conversion of testosterone to estradiol, and of androstenedione to estrone, is catalyzed by the enzyme aromatase.\n\nEstradiol levels vary through the menstrual cycle, with levels highest just before ovulation.-

Because we have ovaries and a uterus. The eggs leave the ovaries, implant into the lining of the uterus, and if not fertilized will shed off, thus giving you your period.
