Introduction
The ovary is the female Gonad homologous to the male gonad. it has two main functions; producing gametes (gametogenesis) and producing the reproductive hormones oestrogens and progesterone. The structures in ovary are undergoing constant changes throughout the oestrus cycle from the Follicles containing Oocytes to Corpus Luteum
