Verified step by step guidance

Begin by understanding the basic anatomy of the female reproductive system. The main components include the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, and vagina.

Recognize the function of the ovaries. They are responsible for producing eggs (ova) and hormones such as estrogen and progesterone.

Identify the location of the ovaries. They are situated in the pelvic cavity, specifically on either side of the uterus.

Visualize the anatomical position: The ovaries are lateral to the uterus, meaning they are positioned to the left and right of the uterus, not within it or near the cervix.

Understand the spatial relationship: The ovaries are connected to the uterus via the fallopian tubes, which transport the eggs from the ovaries to the uterus.
