The function of the external female reproductive structures (the genitals) is twofold: To enable sperm to enter the body and to protect the internal genital organs from infectious organisms. The main external structures of the female reproductive system include:
- Labia majora:
- Labia minora:
- Bartholin's glands: These glands are located beside the vaginal opening and produce a fluid (mucus) secretion.
- Clitoris:
- The ovaries release an egg as part of a woman's cycle. ... During ovulation, an ovary releases an egg into the fallopian tube next to it. The Female Reproductive System. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus that opens into the vagina.
- Ovaries
- Ovaries act as the main female sex organs that produce the female gamete and various hormones.
- A uterus is also called as the womb. It is a muscular, inverted pear-shaped organ of the female reproductive system. The walls of the uterus consist of three layers- the inner glandular layer, the middle thick layer, and the outer thin layer.
- Fallopian tubes are a pair of muscular tubes and funnel-shaped structures, extend from the right and left of the superior corners of the uterus to the edge of the ovaries. These tubes are enclosed in small projections called fimbriae that swipe over the ovaries to pick up released ova and deliver them to the infundibulum for supplying uterus. Each fallopian tube is covered by cilia that functions by carrying the ovum to the uterus.
- The vagina is a muscular and elastic tube that connects the cervix to the external body. It functions as the receptacle for the penis in sexual intercourse and delivers sperm to the fallopian tubes and uterus. It also acts as a birth canal by expanding to allow delivery of the fetus during childbirth.
