Key functions: store and release eggs, role in creation of offspring, to give birth. Fertilization: this occurs when a sperm cell joins with a female’s egg cell. Ovulation: the release of one egg cell per month (about 28 days). Menstruation: when the lining of the uterus, unfertilized egg, and blood flow out of the body. Menstrual cycle: hormonal changes that occur from the beginning of one menstruation to the next (28)
