Dear student

As your chapter is related to Reproduction in animals so Female reproductive sysytem in humans is described below:


The Female Reproductive System

• It is located in the pelvic region:

• It includes:

  • A pair of ovaries
  • A pair of oviducts
  • Uterus
  • Cervix
  • Vagina
  • External genitalia
  • Mammary glands (not part of the reproductive system, but aids in child care)
• Female reproductive system in humans consists of pair of ovaries, pair of oviducts, uterus & vagina. Ovaries produce female germ cells called ova. This ova travels along fallopian tube and at the same time if  mating takes place sperm enters female body through vagina. The process of fusion of male gamete sperm with female gamete ova leads to the formation of zygote, the entire process is known as fertilization. This zygote formed, gets attached in the uterine wall & develops into foetus.
