Female Reproductive System - Internal Organs

Infundibulum:
- Finger-like projections
- Links the ovary and fallopian tube
- Attracts the ovum to the fallopian tube
Endometrium:
- Lining of the uterus
- Site where the embryo attaches
- Sheds every 28 days
Myometrium:
- Muscular layer of the uterus
- Contracts during childbirth and active labour
Ovary:
- Site of oogenesis (egg production)
- Produces estrogen and progesterone
Fallopian Tube:
- Site of fertilization
- Lined with cilia to move the ovum
Uterus:
- Muscular organ
- Location of pregnancy
Cervix:
- Opening of the uterus
- Protects the uterus
Vagina:
- Birth canal
- Receives semen
- Site where menstrual blood flows

Female Reproductive System - External Organs

Vaginal Opening:
- Where the baby exits during childbirth and period blood flows during menstruation
Clitoris:
- Most sensitive part of the vulva
- Produces most intense and pleasurable sexual responses
Hymen:
- Thin tissue at the opening of the vagina
- Formed during development and often present
Labia Majora:
- Large, fleshy folds of tissue
- Forms the lateral borders of the vulva
- Protects external genital organs
Labia Minora:
- Small lips
- Folds of smooth tissue
- Located under labia majora
- Ranges from light pink to brownish black in colour

Female Reproductive System - Function

The entire system provides several functions, including allowing sexual intercourse and reproduction
External genitalia protect internal organs from infections and allow sperm to enter the vagina
The system includes various parts of the female body that contribute to fertility and reproduction.

Test your knowledge on the internal and external organs of the female reproductive system. This quiz covers key functions and anatomical details of organs such as the ovaries, uterus, and fallopian tubes. Perfect for biology students or anyone interested in human anatomy!
