mention the function of ovary oviduct and uterus in the female reproductive system. how essential materials are supplied for the development of fetus
Answers
The ovaries have two main reproductive functions in the body. They produce oocytes (eggs) for fertilisation and they produce the reproductive hormones, oestrogen and progesterone.
Fallopian tube, also called oviduct or uterine tube, either of a pair of long, narrow ducts located in the human female abdominal cavity that transport male sperm cells to the egg, provide a suitable environment for fertilization, and transport the egg from the ovary, where it is produced, to the central channel
Functions of the uterus include nurturing the fertilized ovum that develops into the fetus and holding it till the baby is mature enough for birth. The ferlized ovum gets implanted into the endometrium and derives nourishment from blood vessels which develop exclusively for this purpose.
The mother's blood does not mix with the blood of the fetus, but the placenta lets substances pass between the two blood supplies: oxygen and nutrients diffuse across the placenta from the mother to the fetus. carbon dioxide and other waste substances diffuse across the placenta from the fetus to the mother.
Function of ovary, oviduct and uterus is given below :
Ovary has the important function to produce eggs, also known as oocytes that are required during fertilisation.
Oviducts helps in providing a suitable surrounding for fertilisation. It also helps in transporting the sperms towards egg during copulation.
Uterus helps in nurturing the ovum that is fertilized.
Essential materials are supplied to the foetus for development through a structure called placenta.
