Female Reproductive System
- External Genitalia (Vulva): Visible structures, including the mons pubis (fatty tissue), labia majora (larger folds), labia minora (smaller folds), and clitoris.
- Internal Genitalia: Includes the vagina (canal connecting the external genitalia to the uterus), fallopian tubes (transporting the ovum), and uterus (site of fetal development).
- Vagina: A canal connecting the vulva to the uterus, facilitating childbirth and menstruation.
- Fallopian Tubes: Muscular tubes that transport the ovum to the uterus; site of fertilization.
- Uterus: Hollow, muscular chamber where the fertilized ovum develops into a fetus. Facilitates childbirth and menstruation.
