Anatomy of the Female Reproductive System The reproductive role of the female is far more complex than that of a male. Not only must she produce gametes‚ but her body must prepare to nurture a developing embryo for a period of approximately nine months. Ovaries‚ the female gonads‚ are the primary reproductive organs of a female‚ and like the male testes‚ ovaries serve a dual purpose: They produce the female gametes (ova) and sex hormones‚ the estrogens * and progesterone (pro-ges′tĕ-rōn).

Female Reproductive System The reproductive system or genital system is a system of organs within an organism which work together for the purpose of reproduction. Many non-living substances such as fluids‚ hormones‚ and pheromones are also important accessories to the reproductive system. Unlike most organ systems‚ the sexes of differentiated species often have significant differences. These differences allow for a combination of genetic material between two individuals‚ which allows for the possibility

There is need for both male and female to be involved in the human reproductive process. The Female Reproductive System The female reproductive system consists of the fallopian tube‚ ovum‚ovary‚ uterus‚ cervix and vagina. Ovary This is the name for the sex gland that is similar in function to the male testicle. They are two in number and

the female reproductive system‚ the menstrual cycle is a recurring cycle of physiologic changes that occurs in reproductive-age females. Overt menstruation occurs primarily in humans and close evolutionary relatives such as chimpanzees. The females of other species of placental mammal have estrous cycles‚ in which the endometrium is completely reabsorbed by the animal (covert menstruation) at the end of its reproductive cycle. The menstrual cycle is under the control of the hormone system and

Renal system The renal system consists of two kidneys‚ two ureters which come out of the kindeys and a single bladder which collects the urine before it goes into the urethra. It also involves the sphincter muscle which is located just below the bladder and its purpose is to control the flow of urine. The kidneys have renal veins which take the blood from the kidneys into the main vein in the body which is known as the vena cava‚ they also have short renal arteries which come out of the main vein

The reproductive system is made up of organs and tissues that are involved in the production‚ maturation of gametes and in their union and subsequent development as offspring. Sometimes problems can occur in the reproductive system. Some problems that can occur in the male reproductive system are jock itch‚ undescended testes and testicular cancer. Some problems that can occur in the female reproductive system are vaginitis‚ toxic shock syndrome‚ and cervical cancer. Problems can occur in the

The aim of the female reproductive system is to produce mature oocytes which match with the male spermatocyte to create offspring. Fertilisation most commonly occurs in the fallopian tubes‚ though this can also occur later in a female’s menstrual cycle if the egg has already moved down into the uterus‚ though there is a higher chance of miscarriage as the lining of the womb may continue to shed. The external female reproduction features have two functions; to allow insemination and to also protect
