3.9b Female Reproductive System

Before a pregnancy occurs the ovary (uterus structure) is no larger then a size of orange.

Ovary-  meiosis occurring and the production of eggs (female gametes)
Oviducts- carry the eggs to the uterus
- location where fertilisation might take place --> sperm cell meeting egg cell
Uterus=
Uterus wall- made of muscle--> stretch to accomodate pregnancy and will contract during birth
Lining of the uterus-develelops the fertilised egg--> the embryo (in the wall)--> child
Cervix- entrance to the uterus
Uterus space- where the sperm cell and egg cell move, where the embryo develops into an unborn child

Vagina- where the penis is introduced here, collects the sperm cell and allow then to pass through to the cervix
