(N/A) The ovaries are located one on each side of the lower abdomen.
They are attached to the pelvic wall and uterus by ligaments.
Each ovary is a primary female sex organ,almond-shaped,and measures about $2-4 \text{ cm}$ in length,$2 \text{ cm}$ in width,and $1 \text{ cm}$ in thickness.
Each ovary possesses a $Hilus$,which serves as the point of entry for blood vessels and nerves.
Each ovary is covered by a thin epithelium that encloses the ovarian stroma.
The stroma is divided into two zones: a peripheral $Cortex$ and an inner $Medulla$.
