Female Reproductive System

-each ovary is connected to Fallopian tube / oviduct

-the funnel- like opening of the tube is called frimbriae due to the finger-like structure

-this feathery fringe is lined with cilia , which collect the ovum when it is released from ovary

-oviducts open into the uterus/womb

-uterus is a muscular wall with 5cm wide and 8cm long

-consists of smooth muscle (myometrium) and lining wall aka endometrium

-cervix, a ring of muscle

-vagina,opening of the vulva (muscular tube)

-vulva,opens to the outside of the body

-the vulva consists of two folds of skin , the labia majora & labia minora

-enclosed within the labia is the small erectile tissue called clitoris (equivalent to the penis)

-sensitive and swell with blood when sexually stimulated

Vagina fluid can kill sperms if there is no semen from the penis during sexual intercourse.
