3.9 b) Female Reproductive System


Recall the structure and function of the male and female reproductive systems


Before the pregnancy occur, the size of the uterus is no larger than an orange.

Structure & Function
Ovary - where meiosis occurs; production of eggs
Oviducts (fallopian tube) - carry the eggs to the uterus and where fertilization takes place
Uterus - structure in the center (womb) 
a) wall of uterus - made of muscle that stretch to accommodate a pregnancy
b) lining of uterus - accepts and develops the fertilizing eggs which will develop into the embryo and the child, as well as the development of the placenta
Uterus space - where the sperm cells and eggs cells moves … where embryo developed into unborn child
Cervix - entrance of sperm cells to the uterus 
Vagina - (where the penis is introduced at the end and the sperm cells enters the uterus)
collects sperm cells and travel them into the uterus
