 So what is the female
reproductive system?

3
The female reproductive
system is an organ system
that needs to work together
with the male reproductive
system in order to produce
more humans for the future
If the reproductive systems for
both genders somehow vanished in
a particular day, mankind would
begin to cease to exist and would
eventually reach extinction
FUNCTIONS OF THE
Female Reproductive
SYSTEM
Secretion of female Production of
sex hormones female sex cells
To receive To protect and
male nourish the
copulatory embryo
organ for
sperm transfer
 PARTS OF
THE FEMALE
REPRODUCTIV
E
SYSTEM
 Ovaries

These are the

female gonads

Located at the right

and left depression
of upper pelvis
 Ovaries

They produce the

ovum or the egg cell
OVUM
 OVUM
when these reproduction cells
mature, they will be swept away
by tiny finger-like projections
 OVIDUC
TS
Also known as
fallopian tubes
These finger-like
projections extend to
the uterus
 UTERUS
is a muscular organ in
which the embryo
attaches in its inner
lining called the
endometrium
 ENDOMETRIU
M
when the embryo is
successfully implanted
here, a female is
considered pregnant
 It leads to the
vagina which acts
as the birth canal
Is the narrow during child birth
opening of the
uterus
It accommodates It channels the
the penis during blood discharged
intercourse during menstruation
 VAGINA
it is the female copulatory
organ
long, elastic, muscular
canal that receives the
male copulatory organ
which transfers the sperm
 vAGINA

the walls of the It also expands

vagina give This is also where during
lubrication to the the menstrual intercourse and
penis during blood and tissues childbirth
copulation are expelled from
the body
 VULVA
This is an
external part of
the female
reproductive
system that is
visible
Two pairs of skin that folds and
enclose the vaginal and urethral
opening:

Labia Labia
majora minora
Labia majora
 Labia majora
This is the thicker skin
fold which is composed
of fatty tissue
Labia minora
 Labia minora
This is the inner fold
that contains rich
supply of blood
CLITORIS
 CLITORIS

this lies at the

this part is highly
anterior junction of
sensitive
the labia minora
 HYMEN
this is a membrane
that surrounds and
partially covers the
opening of the vagina
