The Female Reproductive System
The reproductive system of female mammals comprises two main parts, the ovaries and the uterus. The ovaries are responsible for the production of the egg cells, while the uterus hosts the fetus and generates the required quantities of vaginal and uterine fluids. Both these reproductive parts are internal, but intrinsically connected to extraneous organs such as the vagina and cervix. The vulva is the place where the vagina merges with the external reproductive organs. The vulva includes the clitoris, labia and the urethra. The cervix is the merging point of the vagina and the uterus, while the uterus and the ovaries meet at the Fallopian tubes. The ovum released by the ovaries gets into the uterus via the Fallopian tube.
