==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 the formation of [[Corpus Haemorrhagicum]], [[Corpus Luteum]], and finally [[Corpus Albicans]].

The ovary is the female Gonad homologous to the male Testes. It is ususally a paired organ in domestic species but in the bird only the Left Ovary is present. It has two main functions; producing gametes (gametogenesis) and producing the reproductive hormones oestrogens and progesterone, its endocrine function. The structures in ovary are undergoing constant changes throughout the oestrus cycle from the [[Follicles]] containing [[Oocytes]], to the formation of [[Corpus Haemorrhagicum]], [[Corpus Luteum]], and finally [[Corpus Albicans]].
