Why do you think females are capabe to get pregnant?  LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. identify and describe the 2. differentiate and parts of the female explain the male and reproductive system and female gametes function their respective functions; in fertilization.  PRESENTATION THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM  ROLE OF THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM The female reproductive system has many roles. It produces eggs in the ovaries which are transported via the oviducts. A male sperm can fertilize the egg to produce an embryo, which can implant in the uterus wall and eventually develop into a baby. The female reproductive system regulates this process by various different hormones, which are produced in the ovaries and pituitary gland.  OVARY The female reproductive system has two ovaries. They contain undeveloped eggs (ova) which are present from birth. They also make hormones which regulate the menstrual cycle. One of the ovaries releases a mature egg as part of the menstrual cycle. ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH PCOS? Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal condition that affects women of reproductive age. PCOS can cause hormonal imbalances, irregular periods, excess androgen levels and cysts in the ovaries. Irregular periods, usually with a lack of ovulation, can make it difficult to become pregnant. PCOS is a leading cause of infertility.  FIMBRIAE finger-like projections on the ends of your fallopian tubes closest to your ovaries. Each month, your fimbriae catch the egg that one of your ovaries releases during ovulation.  OVIDUCT The oviducts are two tubes which connect the ovaries to the uterus. Oviducts are also known as fallopian tubes. They are lined with hair like cells called cilia to help move the egg from the ovary to the uterus.  WHAT IS ECTOPIC PREGNANCY? An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants and grows outside the main cavity of the uterus. An ectopic pregnancy most often occurs in a fallopian tube, which carries eggs from the ovaries to the uterus.  UTERUS The uterus is muscular with a soft lining. A fertilized egg can implant in the uterus wall and develop from an embryo to a baby over the course of a pregnancy. The lining of the uterus wall comes away as a period if an egg is not fertilized by a sperm.  ZYGOTE The fertilized egg (zygote) divides repeatedly as it moves down the fallopian tube to the uterus. Zygote, fertilized egg cell that results from the union of a female gamete (egg, or ovum) with a male gamete (sperm).  WHAT HAPPENS TO AN UNFERTILIZED EGG? If the egg does not become fertilized as it travels down the fallopian tube on its way to the uterus, the endometrium (lining of the uterus) is shed and passes through the vagina (the passageway through which fluid passes out of the body during menstrual periods, also called the birth canal), a process called menstruation.  CERVIX The cervix is a ring of muscle which keeps the baby in the uterus during pregnancy. The cervix dilates to open during labour.  VAGINA The vagina is a muscular tube which connects the cervix to outside the body. It is where the penis enters during sexual intercourse and where the baby exits the body during child birth. The vagina is also where the menstrual blood (period) leaves the body.  ACTIVITY: Complete the table. List the organ or structure that matches each function or structure.

Provide accurate information to clarify each misconception. Be prepared to share your findings with the class.
