    The document summarizes the key parts of the female reproductive anatomy. It describes the internal organs that allow for pregnancy and childbirth, including the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, and vagina. It notes the ovaries produce eggs and hormones, the fallopian tubes aid fertilization, the uterus nourishes a fetus, and the cervix and vagina are involved in menstruation and childbirth. Externally, it outlines the vulva and its protective functions, naming the labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, mons pubis, and perineum.

    FEMALE ANATOMY:

    THE REPRODUCTIVE ORGAN

    RITCHELLE C. BARRIENTOS
    GEC 2 – GENDER AND SOCIETY
    In male and female anatomy, many bodily functions are similar.

    The circulatory system and digestive system, for example, function in much
    the same ways in both male and female bodies.

    The biggest differences between male and female anatomy are in the
    reproductive system. The female sexual anatomy and its composite parts
    allow women to become pregnant and bear children.

    While the reproductive organs in the female anatomy perform their own
    specific functions, they also work together as a highly complex, interrelated
    system.

    The female sexual anatomy is comprised of both internal and external parts.
    FEMALE SEXUAL ANATOMY:
    INTERNAL ORGANS
    Key organs for female reproduction are protectively located deep within the body. These include:

    Ovaries — A woman normally has a pair of ovaries that resemble almonds in size and shape. They are
    home to the female sex cells, called eggs, and they also produce estrogen, the female sex hormone.
    Women’s ovaries already contain several hundred thousand undeveloped eggs at birth, but the eggs are not
    called into action until puberty. Roughly once a month, starting at puberty and lasting until menopause, the
    ovaries release an egg into the fallopian tubes; this is called ovulation. When fertilization does not occur, the
    egg leaves the body as part of the menstrual cycle.

    Fallopian tubes — The ovaries connect to the uterus via the fallopian tubes. Fertilization usually happens
    within the fallopian tubes. Then, the fertilized egg makes its way down to the uterus.
    Uterus — The uterus is located in the pelvis of a woman’s body and is made up of smooth muscle
    tissue. Commonly referred to as the womb, the uterus is hollow and holds the fetus during
    pregnancy. Each month, the uterus develops a lining that is rich in nutrients. The reproductive
    purpose of this lining is to provide nourishment for a developing fetus. Since eggs aren’t usually
    fertilized, the lining usually leaves the body as menstrual blood during a woman’s monthly period.

    Cervix — The lower part of the uterus, which connects to the vagina, is known as the cervix. Often
    called the neck or entrance to the womb, the cervix lets menstrual blood out and semen into the
    uterus. The cervix remains closed during pregnancy but can expand dramatically during childbirth.
    Vagina — The vagina has both internal and external parts and connects the uterus to
    the outside of the body. Made up of muscle and skin, the vagina is a long hollow tube
    that is sometimes called the “birth canal” because, if you are pregnant, the vagina is
    the pathway the baby will take when it’s ready to be born. The vagina also allows
    menstrual blood to leave a woman's body during reproduction and is where the penis
    deposits semen during sexual intercourse.
    FEMALE SEXUAL ANATOMY:
    EXTERNAL PARTS
    The entrance to the vagina is surrounded by external parts that generally serve to protect the internal organs; this area
    is called the vulva. The vulva consists of the following:

     Labia majora — Translated as “large lips,” this flap of skin protects the vagina from foreign particles.

     Labia minora — The “small lips” also surround and protect the vaginal opening and are located inside the labia
    majora.

     Clitoris — The clitoris is a sensitive organ located above the vaginal opening. The clitoris does not directly affect
    reproduction, but it is an important part of the female sexual anatomy; many women need clitoral stimulation to
    orgasm.

     Mons pubis — The fatty mound of tissue that covers the pubic bone. Often called the "mons."

     Perineum — A stretch of hairless, sensitive skin that extends from the bottom of the vaginal opening back to the
    anus.
