Structure and Function of the Female Reproductive System The female reproductive system consists of primary sex organs, ovaries, which produce eggs (secondary oocytes) and hormones. Located in the pelvic region within the abdominal cavity, these almond-shaped glands are suspended by mesenteries like mesovarium. Eggs released from ovaries are collected by finger-like fimbriae at the infundibulum part of fallopian tubes before being conducted to a muscular uterus for potential implantation.
Anatomy and Layers of Uterus with Associated Structures The uterus is an inverted pear-shaped organ where fertilization occurs in its ampulla section while implantation happens inside it. It has three layers: fibrous perimetrium for strength; muscular myometrium; vascular endometrium aiding zygote development. The cervix connects this structure to vagina—a rough-surfaced canal acting as both sperm receiver during reproduction or birth passageway later on.
