The female reproductive system is made up of internal organs and external structures. Its function is to enable reproduction of the species. Sexual maturation is the process that this system undergoes in order to carry out its role in the process of pregnancy and birth.
The reproductive organ in female are those which concerned with copulation, fertilization, growth and development of fetus and its subsequent exit to the outer world.
Roles of Female Reproductive System
Produce sex hormones
Estrogen, Progesterone
Produce egg (ova or oocytes)
Support & protect developing embryo
Give birth to new baby
The female reproductive organs can be subdivided into:
External genitalia or Vulva
Internal genitalia
Accessory reproductive organs.
The vulva refers to those parts that are outwardly visible.
The vulva includes:
Mons pubis
Labia majora
Labia minora
Clitoris
Urethral opening
Vaginal opening
Perineum
MONS PUBIS
The triangular mound of fatty tissue that covers the pubic bone
It protects the pubic symphysis
During adolescence sex hormones trigger the growth of pubic hair on the mons pubis
Hair varies in coarseness curliness, amount, color and thickness
LABIA MAJORA
Referred to as the outer lips
They have a darker pigmentation
The Labia Majora:
Protect the introitus and urethral openings
Are covered with hair and sebaceous glands
Tend to be smooth, moist, and hairless
The labia majora contain sweat and oil-secreting glands
Become flaccid with age and after childbirth
LABIA MINORA
Referred to as the “inner lips”
Made up of erectile, connective tissue that darkens and swells during sexual arousal
Located inside the labia majora
They are more sensitive and responsive to touch than the labia majora
The labia minora tightens during intercourse
CLITORISHighly sensitive organ composed of nerves, blood vessels, and erectile tissue
It is made up of a shaft and a glans
Becomes engorged with blood during sexual stimulation
Key to sexual pleasure for most women
Urethral opening is located directly below clitoris
VAGINAL OPENING INTROITUSOpening may be covered by a thin sheath called the hymen
Using the presence of an intact hymen for determining virginity is erroneous
The hymen can be perforated by many different events

Female Reproductive system Slideshare ankitkulpare
The female reproductive system is composed of a pair of ovaries along with oviducts, vagina, cervix, uterus , and external organ that are located in the pelvic region.
The reproductive system or genital system is a system of organs within an organism which work together for the purpose of reproduction.
The reproductive events in human includes formation of gametes (gametogenesis) i.e sperms in males and ovum in females leading to the formation of zygote.
1. The Female Reproductive System The female reproductive system located in the pelvis. The female reproductive organs is called vulva. The vulva covers the opening of the vagina and other organs inside the body. There are 2 skin flaps call the labia.

3. Reproductive System There are 3 purposes for the vagina: It is when the penis is inserted during sex. Another is the way for a baby to come through a mother vagina for birth. 3. The process of the menstrual cycle.

5. Reproductive System The hymen is a thin sheet of tissue that cover the opening of the vagina. The uterus is shaped like an upside-down pear with thick lining.
6. The female reproductive system enable a woman to produce eggs, protect the fertilized eggs, in having sexual intercourse and give birth. Female have gonads which are known as ovaries.
