Ovary: It produces female gametes. One ovum is released by one ovary
every month. It also secretes hormones oestrogen and progesterone.
(ii) Uterus: It protects and nourishes the developing embryo.
(iii) Fallopian tube: It passes down the ovum towards the uterus released by
the ovary.
Structure of the placenta in human female:
The placenta is a disc which is embedded in the uterine wall.
It contains villi on the embryo side. The mother’s end of the placenta has
blood spaces which surround the villi.
Functions of the placenta in human female:
Nutrients and oxygen are received by the foetus from the mother’s
blood.
The foetus gives away waste products and carbon dioxide to the mother’s
blood for excretion.
