Question

Name the hormones of the following endocrine gland and their function. 

Ovary

Answer 1

1. The female gonads known as the ovaries generate the hormones progesterone and estrogen.
2. Through the development of secondary sexual characters, oestrogen turns a girl into a woman. Oestrogen causes the endometrium, the uterus' inner lining, to proliferate.
3. The other hormone, progesterone is known to stabilize pregnancy. It helps to maintain pregnancy by preparing the endometrium for the implantation of a fertilized ovum.
