1. Role of different structures within male and female reproductive systemFemale reproductive systemOvariesOvaries are considered as the primary organs of the reproductive system. These secretestwo of the very essential hormones which are important for a female body in the whole processof the reproduction (Agarwal and et.al, 2012). These involve oestrogen and progesterone.
