Study Notes

Female Reproductive System

The fallopian tubes are narrow passageways connecting the ovaries to the uterus
Each tube has a fringed area surrounding the ovary, that helps move the egg
The ovaries contain hundreds of thousands of eggs
At puberty, the pituitary gland releases hormones stimulating the ovaries
Sex hormones, including estrogen and progesterone, develop a girl into a woman
Toward the end of puberty, an egg is released from an ovary (ovulation)
The egg travels through the fallopian tube
If the egg is not fertilized, the lining of the uterus sheds (menstruation)
Spermatozoa live for approximately 5 days within the female reproductive system
A fertilized egg (zygote) implants into the uterine lining within 6-12 days

How the System Works

The female reproductive system is responsible for producing eggs, enabling sexual intercourse, protecting and nourishing a fertilized egg until fully developed, and giving birth
Sexual reproduction needs gonads (ovaries)
Both sexes have gonads
The female gonads are the ovaries
The male gonads are the testicles
