ovarian artery
The ovarian artery is a blood vessel that supplies oxygen-rich blood to the ovaries, which are essential reproductive organs in females. Each woman has two ovarian arteries, one for each ovary, branching off from the abdominal aorta. These arteries play a crucial role in supporting ovarian function and overall reproductive health.
In addition to supplying blood, the ovarian arteries also provide nutrients necessary for the development of eggs and hormones like estrogen and progesterone. Proper blood flow through the ovarian arteries is vital for maintaining the menstrual cycle and fertility in women.
