Body System: Reproductive - Female

The female reproductive system consists of external and internal organs. The major external organs are the vulva, mons, clitoris, labia, hymen, and urethra opening. The major internal organs are the vagina, cervix, uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and endometrium. The ovaries produce eggs and hormones, the fallopian tubes transport eggs to the uterus, and the uterus provides nourishment to a developing baby.

Body System: Reproductive - Female

The female reproductive system consists of external parts (outside of the body) and internal
organs (inside the body). Enlarged drawings of these are on page 2.

Parts of the reproductive system


The major parts of the reproductive system are:
 Vulva - the outside parts of the female reproductive
system. It includes the mons, clitoris, labia, hymen and
the opening of the urethra (Picture 3).
 Mons - the fatty pad of skin over the pubic bone
 Clitoris - a small, round knob of tissue located on the
upper part of the vulva that has thousands of nerve
endings
Fallopian
 Labia - the folds of skin on each side of the vagina tubes
 Hymen - a thin fold of skin that partly covers the
Ovaries
opening of the vagina
Uterus
 Vagina - the inside passageway to the cervix and uterus. Cervix
It receives the penis during sex and serves as the birth Vagina
canal during childbirth. It is where babies come out.
 Cervix - the organ that surrounds the opening from
the vagina to the uterus
 Uterus (womb) - the hollow organ where a baby
develops.
 Endometrium - the lining of the uterus.
 Ovaries – Eggs mature here and are released from these
paired (2) organs. They also produce female hormones.
 Fallopian tubes- Paired passageways for eggs to go from
the ovaries to the uterus.
