Ovary is the primary female sex organ that produces the female gamete (ovum) and several steroid hormones (ovarian hormones). The two steroid hormones produced by ovary are oestrogen and progesterone. Oestrogens produce wide ranging actions such as stimulation of growth and activities of female secondary sex organs, development of growing ovarian follicles, appearance of female secondary sex characters (e.g., high pitch of voice, etc.) mammary gland development. Oestrogens also regulate female sexual behaviour. Alp
