The pistil has three main components, forming into a shape like a vase The stem is the style, the uppermost top is the stigma, and the base is the ovary The ovary, which later develops into a fruit, contains the ovules
The hollow basal region of a carpel, containing one or more ovules and surmounted by the style(s) and stigma(s) It is made up of one or more carpels which may fuse together in different ways to form one or more chambers (locules) The ovary is generally above the perianth parts (superior) or below them (inferior)
(vertebrates) one of usually two organs that produce ova and secrete estrogen and progesterone
A woman's ovaries are the two organs in her body that produce eggs. In zoology, the female reproductive organ (see reproductive system) that produces eggs and sex hormones (estrogen and progesterone). Human females have two ovaries, almond-shaped organs about 1.5 in. (4 cm) long. They contain hollow balls of cells (follicles) that hold immature eggs. About 150,000-500,000 follicles usually are present at birth; by young adulthood, only about 34,000 remain. The number continues to decrease until menopause, when the few remaining follicles decay and the ovaries shrink and produce far less estrogen. Only 300-400 follicles mature and release an egg, which develops into an embryo if fertilized or, if not, passes from the body with menstruation. In botany, an ovary is the enlarged base of a flower's female organ (pistil). It contains ovules, which develop into seeds when fertilized, and matures into a fruit
—Two almond-shaped glands located at the opening of the fallopian tubes on both sides of the uterus; produce eggs and the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone
The pair of female reproductive organs on either side of the uterus that produce eggs and hormones (estrogen, progesterone and small amounts of testosterone)
(O-va-reez): The pair of female reproductive glands in which the ova, or eggs, are formed The ovaries are located in the pelvis, one on each side of the uterus

or Stein-Leventhal syndrome Endocrine disorder in women, characterized by high androgen levels and infrequent or absent ovulation (see reproductive system). It causes a high proportion of female infertility cases. Symptoms vary but often include hirsutism, acne, and obesity. Menstruation may be irregular, absent, or excessive. The ovaries are usually enlarged and contain cysts. The disease may remain undiagnosed until a woman tries to conceive. The underlying cause is not fully understood. Treatment attempts to reduce androgen production. Infertility may be treated with clomiphene citrate or gonadotropins to induce ovulation or with laparoscopy
