5 Ovaries Ovaries are small (~3cm long) oval shaped organs attached to the uterus by ligaments. Ovaries produce eggs as well as two female sex hormones (oestrogen and progesterone)

6 Oviduct and Fimbriae The oviducts (fallopian tubes) are not attached to the ovaries. One end of the oviduct is funnel shaped and fringed with tentacle like projections (fimbriae). The oviduct transports the eggs from the ovaries to the uterus. The egg is pushed along by movements of millions of cilia on the inner lining of the tubes.

7 Uterus The uterus provides protection and nutrition
for the developing embryo and fetus. Most of the uterus consists of the myometrium, which is smooth muscle that functions to eject the baby during birth.

8 Uterus The inner linning of the uterus (endometrium) is
glandular and grows to a thick, blood vessel-rich, glandular tissue layer. This layer provides anchorage and nutrition for the embryo.

9 Vagina The vagina is the muscular tube through which the penis enters the female during intercourse and through which the baby is born. At the end of the vagina is the cervix, a narrow opening into the uterus. During pregnancy the cervix is blocked by a special antibacterial mucosal plug which prevents infection.
