Female reproductive system
Endometrium Fallopian Tube
(inside lining)
Ovary
Uterus –
(outside) Cervix
Vagina
A. Ovaries
Reproductive glands; produce ova and
estrogen
B. Fallopian Tubes
Four-inch long tube; connects ovary to
uterus
C. Endometrium
Inner lining of the uterus, thickens to
receive the fertilized egg
D. Vagina
Muscular tube to outside of body; organ for
sexual intercourse; birth canal
E. Uterus
Muscular organ; supports fetilized egg during
pregnancy; contracts during childbirth
F. Cervix
Lowest part of the uterus; connects to vagina
• Ova: female reproductive cells
• Estrogen / progesterone: hormones
that produce female secondary sex
characteristics
• Ovulation: process of releasing one
mature ovum each month
• Menstration: unfertilized egg and
lining of uterus leave body in
menstrual flow
Clitoris - small, highly sensitive
structure located above the opening
to the urethra
Labia minora/Labia majora – folds of
skin covering the opening to the
vagina
Vulva: the outside part of the female
reproductive system

Path of sperm through the
male reproductive system
activity
To start:
Held in the scrotum,
The uterus is the part of the body that a baby will grow. The inner lining in the
uterus is what supports and nourishes the baby. If fertilization does not occur,
what is shed during a woman’s period? the lining. During a woman’s period,
blood and other tissue from the uterus leave the body through the vagina. A
period can last from a few days to about one week. The average menstrual cycle
is about 28 days. Day 1 of the menstrual cycle is the first day of the period. In
the middle of the menstrual cycle (around day 13-14) the ovary releases an egg.
How many days does it take for an egg to travel down a fallopian tube? a few
days. Meanwhile the lining of the uterus gradually gets thicker so it can
support the development of a fertilized egg. If the egg gets fertilized it will
implant in the endometrium (lining) and the woman is pregnant! If it is not
fertilized, the woman is not pregnant and the egg will begin to dissolve and the
lining is not needed and the cycle begins again.
