Human Ovary: Basic and Clinical Physiology (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781541277748)

The female reproductive system is a complicated but fascinating subject; it has the capability to function intimately with nearly every other body system for the purpose of reproduction. The female reproductive system consists of the hypothalamic-pituitary unit, the ovaries, and the reproductive tract. The functions of the ovaries are to produce oocytes, for sexual reproduction, and produce hormones that regulate reproductive function and secondary sex characteristics. Abnormalities in the physiologic function of the ovary affect the development of oocytes and potential fertility. This book provides a comprehensive review of the physiology specific to the ovary, emphasizing abnormalities affecting its function and the mechanisms behind treatment. I hope this book will enhance your knowledge of the basic and clinical physiology of the ovary, and that you will be able to apply this information to your practice.
