Unlike its male counterpart, the female reproductive system is located primarily inside the pelvic cavity (Figure 27.2.1). Recall that the ovaries are the female gonads. The gamete they produce is called an oocyte.

It promotes the further preparation of the uterine lining for pregnancy and prevents the uterus contracting until the baby is born.

The parathyroid glands situated adjacent to the thyroid glands in the neck produce parathormone that regulates blood calcium levels and the excretion of phosphates. The follicle cells of the developing ova produce oestrogen, which controls the development of the mammary glands and prepares the uterus for pregnancy.

The ovarian cycle refers to the series of changes in the ovary during which the follicle matures, the ovum is shed and the corpus luteum develops.
