Question

Write the reproductive parts of the female.

Answer 1

1. Ovaries: These produce ova (eggs) and secrete the hormones oestrogen and progesterone.
2. Oviducts (fallopian tubes): These carry the ovum from an ovary towards the uterus; fertilisation usually occurs in an oviduct.
3. Uterus: This is the organ where the embryo implants and develops during pregnancy.
4. Vagina: This receives sperm during copulation and serves as the passage for menstrual flow and childbirth.
5. Vulva: This is the external genitalia and includes the mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, hymen and clitoris.
6. Mammary glands (breasts): These are accessory reproductive glands that produce milk to nourish the baby after birth.
