2. Female Reproductive Organs
The organs of the female reproductive system matures at puberty and enables pregnancy to occur with the first monthly ovulation.

3. Female Reproductive Organs
The female reproductive system has several functions, including producing female sex hormones and storing the eggs.
Eggs
Female gametes

4. Female Reproductive Organs
A female at birth has more than 400,000 immature ova in her ovaries.
Ovaries
The female sex glands that store the ova, or eggs, and produce female sex hormones

5. Female Reproductive Organs
The ovaries are located on each side of the uterus.
Uterus
The hollow, muscular, pear-shaped organ that nourishes and protects a fertilized ovum until birth

6. Female Reproductive Organs
The process of ovulation is controlled by the release of luteinizing hormone by the pituitary gland.
Ovulation
The process of releasing a mature ovum into the fallopian tube each month

7. Female Reproductive Organs
A mature ovum is released from an ovary and moves into one of the two fallopian tubes.
Fallopian tubes
A pair of tubes with fingerlike projections that draw in the ovum

8. Female Reproductive Organs
Cervix
The cervix is the opening of the uterus.
The uterus protects and nourishes a developing fetus.
Uterus
The ovaries contain ova and produce hormones.
Ovaries
Ova travel to the uterus through the fallopian tubes.
Fallopian Tubes
Endometrium
Endometrium tissue lines the uterus.
The passageway from the uterus to the outside of the body.
Vagina

9. Female Reproductive Organs
Sperm from the male enter the female reproductive system through the vagina.
Vagina
A muscular, elastic passageway that extends from the uterus to the outside of the body

10. Female Reproductive Organs
If sperm are present in the fallopian tubes, the sperm cell and ovum may unite, resulting in fertilization.
The fertilization of an egg by a sperm produces a cell called a zygote.
When the zygote leaves the fallopian tube, it enters the uterus and attaches itself to the uterine wall. The fetus remains in the uterus until birth.

11. Female Reproductive Organs
After a female matures, the uterus prepares each month for possible pregnancy. If pregnancy doesn’t occur, menstruation occurs.
Menstruation
The shedding of the uterine lining

12. Female Reproductive Organs
If pregnancy does not occur, the thickened lining of the uterus (endometrium) breaks down into blood, tissue, and fluids. This will then pass through the cervix and into the vagina.
Cervix
The opening to the uterus

Premenstrual Syndrome
A disorder caused by hormonal changes
Toxic Shock Syndrome
A rare but serious bacterial infection that affects the immune system and the liver

Endometriosis
Uterine tissue grows outside the uterus
STDs
