Ovarian Cells
Ovarian cells are specialized cells found in the ovaries, which are part of the female reproductive system. These cells play crucial roles in producing eggs and hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. The ovaries contain different types of cells, including granulosa cells and theca cells, which work together to support egg development and regulate the menstrual cycle.
In addition to their reproductive functions, ovarian cells are involved in various biological processes, including hormone signaling and cellular communication. Abnormalities in these cells can lead to conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or ovarian cancer, highlighting their importance in women's health.
