ovary
Female reproductive gland
An ovary is a female reproductive organ that produces eggs.
In humans and other mammals, ovaries also secrete hormones like estrogen and progesterone.
In flowering plants, the ovary is the part of the pistil that contains ovules and develops into fruit after fertilization.
