The Ovary

There are two ovaries: one on the left and another on the right.

Ovaries produce ova (ovum), the female reproductive cells.

Oviduct (fallopian tube)

It is the tube down the uterus (womb) from the ovary. It is the

passage for an ovum to the uterus. This is where fertilization
takes place.
