Female Reproductive parts

Ovary

The ovaries produce the female sex cells, called eggs or ova, and sex hormones. The ova are released from follicles on the ovary.

Oviduct

The oviduct, or fallopian tube, is a tube-like structure that carries the egg from the ovary to the uterus. It is also the site where sperm and egg meet during fertilization.

Vagina

Semen is deposited into the reproductive system through the vagina. The vagina is a part of the birth canal as well as part of the route by which urine passes out of the body.

. Urinary bladder

The bladder stores urine before it is released through the urethra.

Cervix

The cervix is a muscular structure that functions as a passageway for the sperm and keeps bacteria and foreign material out of the uterus during pregnancy by forming a waxy mucus plug. During the birthing process, the cervix acts as a part of the birth canal.

Clitoris

The clitoris, which is located inside the vulva, is a highly sensitive part corresponding to the penis that is stimulated during mating.

Uterine horns

The fertilized egg attaches to the uterine wall and begins to develop in the uterine horns. The sow, dog, and rabbit have more pronounced uterine horns because they are litter-bearing animals.

Uterus

The fertilized egg develops in the uterus before birth.

Infundibulum

The infundibulum receives the egg from the ovary.

Vulva

The vulva is the external opening of the urinary and reproductive systems.

Urethra

Urine is passed from the bladder to the vagina through the urethra. It empties into the base of the vagina. The urethra and bladder have no reproductive function.
