Female reproductive system:

Uterus—The uterus is a hollow muscular organ located in the female pelvis between the bladder and
rectum. The ovaries produce the eggs that travel through the fallopian tubes. Once the egg has left the
ovary it childbirth.Fertilized and implant itself in the lining of the uterus. The main function of the uterus
is to nourish the developing fetus prior to birth.

The uterus 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

Fallopian tube—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 (lumen) of the uterus.

The fallopian tubes are bilateral conduits between the ovaries and the uterus in the female pelvis. They
function as channels for oocyte transport and fertilization. Given this role, the fallopian tubes are a
common etiology of infertility as well as the target of purposeful surgical sterilization.

Fimbrae—Your fimbriae are finger-like projections at the ends of each of your fallopian tubes. Each
month, they sweep a newly released egg from your ovaries into your fallopian tubes. Damaged fimbriae
can negatively impact your fertility. Taking steps to prevent STIs can help keep your fimbriae and your
fallopian tubes working correctly.

your fimbriae catch the egg that one of your ovaries releases during ovulation. Your fimbriae then sweep
the egg (ovum) into the fallopian tube where the egg can be fertilized.

Ovary—One of a pair of female glands in which the eggs form and the female hormones estrogen and
progesterone are made. These hormones play an important role in female traits, such as breast
development, body shape, and body hair. They are also involved in the menstrual cycle, fertility, and
pregnancy.
Ovarian ligament—The ovarian ligaments, which connect each ovary to the lateral side of the uterus, do
not contain any blood vessels. These are also known as the utero-ovarian ligaments or the proper
ovarian ligaments.

The suspensory ligaments attach each ovary to the pelvic sidewall. The ovarian ligaments, which connect
each ovary to the lateral side of the uterus, do not contain any blood vessels. These are also known as
the utero-ovarian ligaments or the proper ovarian ligaments.

Cervix—The lower, narrow end of the uterus that forms a canal between the uterus and vagina.

Your cervix is a passage that allows fluids to flow inside and out of your uterus. It's also a powerful
gatekeeper that can open and close in ways that make pregnancy and childbirth possible.

Endometrium—The layer of tissue that lines the uterus.

The physiological functions of the uterine endometrium (uterine lining) are preparation for
implantation, maintenance of pregnancy if implantation occurs, and menstruation in the absence of
pregnancy. The endometrium thus plays a pivotal role in reproduction and continuation of our species.

Vagina—The vagina is an elastic, muscular canal with a soft, flexible lining that provides lubrication and
sensation. The vagina connects the uterus to the outside world. The vulva and labia form the entrance,
and the cervix of the uterus protrudes into the vagina, forming the interior end.

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.
