An ovary is in female animals, the organ that
generates the ovum. In humans, the ovaries
are two whitish rounded bodies about 25mm
(1inch) by 35mm (1½inches), located in the
lower abdomen to either side of the uterus.
Every month, from puberty to the onset of the
menopause, an ovum is released from the
ovary, this is called ovulation, and forms
part of the menstrual cycle.
