Female Reproductive System:-
Female reproductive system is consist of the following organs:-
✿ Ovaries:-
⇒ Each human female contain two ovaries.
⇒ These ovaries are almond shaped located in lower part of abdominal cavity near the kidney.
⇒ Each ovary is connected by a ligament to the uterus.
⇒ The ovaries are primary sex organs. Each ovary is composed of ovarian follicles, at varies stages of development.
⇒ Each follicles contains a large ovum surrounded by many layers of follicle cells. The production of ova starts at the age of puberty.
✿ Function of Ovary:-
⇒ Production of female gametes (eggs or ova).
⇒ Secretion of female sex hormone (estrogen and progesterone)
✿ Fallopian tube:-
⇒ A Fallopian tube is about 10 - 12 cm long muscular tube which carries egg from the ovary to the uterus and also provide appropriate environment for its fertilization.
✿ Uterus:-
⇒ The uterus is a large, inverted pear-shaped, muscular structure that lies behind the bladder.
⇒ If fertilization takes place, the embryo gets attached to the wall of uterus and grows there until birth.
✿ Vagina:-
⇒ This is a muscular tube about 7 - 10 cm long whose walls contain elastic tissue.
⇒ It is wall adapted to receive the male's penis during copulation.
⇒ The vagina is also called "Birth canal".
Extra Information:-
✿ Female reproduction system in human beings consist of pair of ovaries, uterus & vagina.
✿ Ovaries produce female germ cells called ova.
✿ This ova travels along Fallopian tube and at the same time if mating takes place sperm enters female body through vagina.
✿ The process of fusion of male and female leads to formation of zygote, the entire process is called fertilization.
The vagina is a fibromuscular (made up of fibrous and muscular tissue) canal leading from the outside of the body to the cervix of the uterus or womb. It is also referred to as the birth canal in the context of pregnancy. The vagina accommodates the male penis during sexual intercourse. Semen containing spermatozoa is ejaculated from the male at orgasm, into the vagina potentially enabling fertilization of the egg cell (ovum) to take place.
The cervix is the neck of the uterus, the lower, narrow portion where it joins with the upper part of the vagina. It is cylindrical or conical in shape and protrudes through the upper anterior vaginal wall. Approximately half its length is visible, the remainder lies above the vagina beyond view. The vagina has a thick layer outside and it is the opening where the fetus emerges during delivery.
The uterus or womb is the major female reproductive organ. The uterus provides mechanical protection, nutritional support, and waste removal for the developing embryo (weeks 1 to 8) and fetus (from week 9 until the delivery). In addition, contractions in the muscular wall of the uterus are important in pushing out the fetus at the time of birth.
The uterus contains three suspensory ligaments that help stabilize the position of the uterus and limits its range of movement. The uterosacral ligaments keep the body from moving inferiorly and anteriorly. The round ligaments restrict posterior movement of the uterus. The cardinal ligaments also prevent the inferior movement of the uterus.
The uterus is a pear-shaped muscular organ. Its major function is to accept a fertilized ovum which becomes implanted into the endometrium, and derives nourishment from blood vessels which develop exclusively for this purpose. The fertilized ovum becomes an embryo, develops into a fetus and gestates until childbirth. If the egg does not embed in the wall of the uterus, a female begins menstruation.
The Fallopian tubes are two tubes leading from the ovaries into the uterus. On maturity of an ovum, the follicle and the ovary's wall rupture, allowing the ovum to escape and enter the Fallopian tube. There it travels toward the uterus, pushed along by movements of cilia on the inner lining of the tubes. This trip takes hours or days. If the ovum is fertilized while in the Fallopian tube, then it normally implants in the endometrium when it reaches the uterus, which signals the beginning of pregnancy.
The ovaries are small, paired organs located near the lateral walls of the pelvic cavity. These organs are responsible for the production of the egg cells (ova) and the secretion of hormones. The process by which the egg cell (ovum) is released is called ovulation. The speed of ovulation is periodic and impacts directly to the length of a menstrual cycle.
After ovulation, the egg cell is captured by the Fallopian tube, after traveling down the Fallopian tube to the uterus, occasionally being fertilized on its way by an incoming sperm. During fertilization the egg cell plays a role; it releases certain molecules that are essential to guiding the sperm and allows the surface of the egg to attach to the sperm's surface. The egg can then absorb the sperm and fertilization can then begin.[citation needed] The Fallopian tubes are lined with small hairs (cilia) to help the egg cell travel.
