Even though they do not compete directly with cultivated plants, sometimes winter annuals are considered a pest in commercial agriculture, because they can be hosts for insect pests or fungal diseases ( ovary smut – Microbotryum sp ) which attack crops being cultivated.

Some examples are in improving crop technology ( not a medical application per se ; see BioSystems Engineering ), the manufacture of synthetic human insulin through the use of modified bacteria, the manufacture of erythropoietin in hamster ovary cells, and the production of new types of experimental mice such as the oncomouse ( cancer mouse ) for research.

In Season 2 Episode 13 " Skin Deep " of House, the main patient's testicular cancer is mistaken for an ovary due to the patient's undiscovered AIS.

After ovulation, the egg only lives for 24 hours or less without fertilization while the remains of the dominant follicle in the ovary become a corpus luteum ; this body has a primary function of producing large amounts of progesterone.

* Spearmint tea: Twenty-one female hirsute patients, 12 with polycystic ovary syndrome and 9 with idiopathic hirsutism were included to the study in which they drank one cup of spearmint tea a day for 5 days, after which there was significant decrease in free testosterone and increase in luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone and estradiol

In animal cells, one notable exception to the normal process of cytokinesis is oogenesis ( the creation of an ovum in the ovarian follicle of the ovary ), where the ovum takes almost all the cytoplasm and organelles, leaving very little for the resulting polar bodies, which then die.

The female's genital aperture is located just behind the anal fin and is an opening for the milt to fertilize the ova within the ovary.

However, it is not very useful for treatment decisions and prognosis, as these are determined by the tissue from which the tumour cells arose, i. e. the tissue of origin ; an adenocarcinoma of the colon has a different prognosis and treatment than an adenocarcinoma of the ovary.

* In females, LH supports theca cells in the ovary that provide androgens and hormonal precursors for estradiol production.

During the reproductive years, relatively elevated LH is frequently seen in patients with the polycystic ovary syndrome ; however, it would be unusual for them to have LH levels outside of the normal reproductive range.

The ovule is usually capable of being fertilized for up to 48 hours after it is released from the ovary.

In most countries, cancer that has metastasized to the ovary accounts for only about 1 to 2 % of ovarian cancer ; in the remainder, the ovary itself is the primary cancer site.

Krukenberg tumors account for about 15 % of metastatic cancers that initially appear to have arisen in the ovary, and as such is less common than metastasis arising from ovarian epithelial and germ-cell tumors.

During ovulation, the arrested secondary oocyte leaves the ovary and matures rapidly into an egg ready for fertilization.

The ovary is often also associated with a storage sac for sperm, and a copulatory duct termed Laurer's canal.

Cui accedunt canis carchariae dissectum caput, et dissectus piscis ex canum genere in Florence, providing a foundation for the study of muscle mechanics, the ovary ( based on his dissection of dogfish ), and the sedimentary theory of geology.

The reason open surgery is more painful is that larger incisions are required, and the ovary needs to be pulled out of the body which stretches and tears tissue in the abdomen ( it is not uncommon for patients to react under anaesthesia by breathing faster at this point ).

The female has a single functional ovary ( on the right ) and two functional uteruses, divided into separate compartments for each embryo.

Previously, metformin was recommended as treatment for anovulation in polycystic ovary syndrome, but in the largest trial to date, comparing clomiphene with metformin, clomiphene was more effective than metformin alone.

However, many species produce a far greater number of eggs during their lifetime than do humans, so that, in fish and amphibians, there may be hundreds, or even millions of fertile eggs present in the ovary at any given time.

File: Poirtêye foû matrice saetch & coine. JPG | External side of fetal sac, proximal end, with ovary and uterine horn.

Normally, these are paired structures, but in birds, crocodilians, and some cartilaginous fishes, one or the other side fails to develop ( together with the corresponding ovary ), and only one functional oviduct is found.

* unilateral salpingo-oopherectomy, the surgical removal of an ovary and a fallopian tube on the same side

Each female has a single functional ovary ( on the right side ) and two functional uteruses.

There is usually only a single ovary, which is connected, via a pair of ducts to a number of vitelline glands on either side of the body, that produce yolk cells.

Mature females have a single functional ovary, on the left side, and two functional uteruses.

The smaller, dendritic ovary lies on the right side, coiling between the ovary and the preacetabular cirrus pouch.

Proglottids of this order have genital openings on one side ( except in the family Dilepididae, which has genital openings on both sides ), and a compact yolk gland or vitellarium posterior to the ovary.

The ovary is inferior with often a thin tubular portion at its apex formed by joined tepals or the tip of the ovary.

In the narrowest definition, the Amaryllidaceae sensu stricto is characterized by an umbellate inflorescence with an inferior ovary.

The ovary is superior.

* Ovary: The end of the mammal oviduct nearest to the ovary is the infundibulum of uterine tube

The ER is expressed in specific tissues including the ovary, uterus and breast.

The ovary is an ovum-producing reproductive organ, often found in pairs as part of the vertebrate female reproductive system.

The part of the broad ligament of the uterus that covers the ovary is known as the mesovarium.

Thus, the ovary is the only organ in the human body which is totally invaginated into the peritonium, making it the only intraperitoneal organ ( not to be confused with interperitoneal ).

In birds, reptiles, and monotremes, the egg is relatively large, filling the follicle, and distorting the shape of the ovary at maturity.

Amphibians and reptiles have no ovarian medulla ; the central part of the ovary is a hollow, lymph-filled space.

The ovary of teleosts is also often hollow, but in this case, the eggs are shed into the cavity, which opens into the oviduct.

In most birds and in platypuses, the right ovary never matures, so that only the left is functional.

In the primitive jawless fish, and some teleosts, there is only one ovary, formed by the fusion of the paired organs in the embryo.

The procedure is to take a part of the ovary and carry out slow freezing before storing it in liquid nitrogen whilst therapy is undertaken.

The ovary is superior with basal or free-central placentation.

The ovary is superior.

The ovary is inferior and topped by two nectaries, the stigma is funnel-shaped.

An individual that produces both types of gametes is called hermaphrodite ( a name applicable also to people with one testis and one ovary ).

The ovary is three-celled, ripening into a three-celled capsule.

A recent finding indicates that ovary development and maintenance is an active process, regulated by the expression of a " pro-female " gene, FOXL2.
