Definition : The reproductive organ (gonads) in female animals. In vertebrates, the ovary contains
two functional parts: the ovarian follicle for the production of female germ cells
(oogenesis); and the endocrine cells (granulosa cells; theca cells; and luteal cells)
for the production of estrogens and progesterone. [MeSH];
