Question

Write functions of the following parts.

i) Ovary

ii) Uterus

iii) Fallopian tube / duct

iv) Vagina

v) Placenta​

Answer 1

Answer:

1) Ovary:- The ovaries produce the egg cells, called the ova or oocytes. The oocytes are then transported to the fallopian tube where fertilization by a sperm may occur. The fertilized egg then moves to the uterus, where the uterine lining has thickened in response to the normal hormones of the reproductive cycle.

2) Uterus:- The uterus, also known as the womb, is a female reproductive organ that is responsible for many functions in the processes of implantation, gestation, menstruation, and labor. The round ligament connects the uterus to the abdominal wall and includes the artery of Sampson.

Answer 2

Explanation:

i) Ovary: 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.

ii) Uterus: It functions to nourish and house a fertilized egg until the fetus, or offspring, is ready to be delivered.

iii) Fallopian tube / duct: It 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 (lumen) ...

iv) Vagina: The vagina has 3 main functions: provides a passageway for blood and mucosal tissue from the uterus during a woman's monthly period. receives the penis during sexual intercourse and holds the sperm until they pass into the uterus. provides a passageway for childbirth.

v) Placenta: The placenta is an organ that develops in your uterus during pregnancy. This structure provides oxygen and nutrients to your growing baby and removes waste products from your baby's blood. The placenta attaches to the wall of your uterus, and your baby's umbilical cord arises from it.
