Question: what are the hormones that are produce in the ovary

Hey, Hormones Produced by the Ovary ( The Real MVPs of the Reproductive System include): 🧪👑

1.Estrogen 👸

Function: Controls development of female secondary sexual characteristics (hips, breasts, voice, etc.)

Also regulates the menstrual cycle and prepares the uterus lining for possible pregnancy.

Basically, it’s the CEO of femininity ,running the show from puberty to periods!

2.Progesterone 🛡️

Function: Supports pregnancy by maintaining the uterine lining (endometrium).

After ovulation, it’s like “Hold up! A baby might be on the way. Let’s prep!” 🤰

It keeps things calm and ready – like a bodyguard for the womb!

3.Inhibin 🚫

Function: Inhibits (slows down) the production of FSH from the pituitary gland.

It’s like “Eh, too many eggs being prepped… reduce speed!” 🧠⚠️

3.Relaxin 🧘‍♀️

Function: Helps relax the uterus and pelvic ligaments during pregnancy, especially during childbirth.

Think of it as the hormone that says, “Let’s stretch and make space for baby!” 👶

So in short: The ovary isn’t just chilling. It’s a serious biological lab that produces hormones to control periods, pregnancy, and everything in between. 🔬🧬🔥.Estrogen and progesterone are the major hormones being secreted.
