What you see above are labelled diagrams of the female and male reproductive systems. If we didn't have these we wouldn't even exist! I am going to provide a thorough explanation of some parts of the female reproductive system and what they do.
Vagina: The vagina is what joins the cervix (the lower part of the uterus) to the outside of the body. It is also known as the birth canal.
Uterus (womb): The uterus is a hollow, pear-shaped organ that is the home of a developing baby. The uterus is divided into two parts: the cervix, which is the lower part that opens into the vagina, and the main body of the uterus, called the corpus. The corpus can easily expand to hold a developing baby. A passage through the cervix allows sperm to enter and period blood to exit.
Ovaries: The ovaries are small, oval-shaped glands that are located on both sides of the uterus. The ovaries produce eggs and hormones.
Fallopian Tubes: These are narrow tubes that are attached to the upper part of the uterus and are tunnels for the egg cells to travel from the ovaries to the uterus. Conception, the fertilization of egg by a sperm, normally occurs in the Fallopian Tubes. The fertilized egg then moves to the uterus, where it implants to the lining of the wall
Fundus: The Fundus is what produces juices for the digestive system.
Endometrium: The Endomentrium is the innermost membrane of the uterus in mammals. During Pregnancy, the Endomentrium develops a lot of glands and capillaries (small blood vessels). These all become connected and form a placenta. When a fertilized ovum (female reproductive cell) attaches itself to the uterus. The capillaries supply the fetus with nutrients. They also take away waste products such as carbon dioxide.
Myometrium: The Myometrium induces uterine contractions.
