Introduction
The female genital apparatus consists of all the internal and external sex organs which
are involved in the reproduction. In the human, the female reproductive system is
immature at birth and develops to maturity at puberty to be able to produce egg cells,
and to carry a fetus to full term.

Curious facts
Hymen
For reasons that remain unclear, female babies are born with
membranes surrounding their vaginal openings. Most hymens
are open in the center. Newborns' hymens tend to be prominent
and thick. But as the years pass, most hymenal tissue thins and
the opening widens. During childhood most hymenal tissue
wears away as a result of washing, walking, athletics and
masturbation, though little bits may remain around the vaginal
opening, particularly in the area closest to the anus.
