State the Female Reproductive System
The female reproductive organ consists of the following:
Uterus receives fertilied ovum and featus develops in it
Two ovaries produce ova
Fallopian tubes collect ova and pass to uterus. Fertiliation takes place in it
Vagina
Vulva or external genitalia
Two breasts are accessory to reproductive organs
About 450 ova are produced by a female in her entire reproductive life. During copulation million of the sperms are introduced in the vagina. The sperms are active and can move up the vagina and uterus to the fallopian tube. Finally only one sperm fertilies the ovum. Apart from producing ovum, the ovaries perform endocrine function of secreting sex hormones estrogen and progesterone.
