Female Reproductive System:

The female reproductive system consists of ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, vagina, external genitalia (vulva), and mammary glands.

Ovaries produce eggs and female sex hormones (estrogen and progesterone).

Ovulation is the release of mature eggs from the ovaries.

The fallopian tubes transport eggs to the uterus.

The uterus is where fetal development occurs during pregnancy.

The cervix connects the uterus to the vagina.

The vagina is the birth canal and exit for menstrual blood.

The vulva includes labia, clitoris, and vaginal opening.

Mammary glands produce milk for breastfeeding.
