The document summarizes key female reproductive organs and their functions. The uterus is the pear-shaped organ located in the pelvis where the fetus develops during pregnancy. It has three sections: the fundus, corpus, and cervix. The fallopian tubes, also known as uterine tubes, are long narrow tubes connected to the ovaries and uterus that transport eggs and sperm. The female sex cell or ovum is produced in the ovaries and travels through the fallopian tubes, where it may be fertilized by sperm to form a zygote.

resides is called the ………………..

3. • Hollow pear-shaped organ
• Located between the female pelvis between
the bladder and rectum
• The uterus has three sections
• Fundus (upper portion)
• Corpus (body)
• Cervix (neck of the uterus)
• It is within the uterus that a fetus develops

• It is known as the womb

5. Uterine Tubes
• Also known as fallopian tubes or
oviducts
• Pair of long narrow tubes located
parasagittal to the uterus
• Also transports the male sperm cells
to the egg, transports the fertilized
egg to the uterus

6. The female sex cell is an
• Ovum

7. Ova
• It is the female haploid
reproductive cell
• Ovary produces an ovum
• Approximately every 28 days the
ovum is released (ovulation)
• The union of sperm and ovum is
a zygote

Ovum
Provides nourishment and protection
for the fetus
Uterine tubes
Produced by the ovaries
Ova
Female sex cell
Fallopian tubes
