What is the Female Reproductive
System?
 The Female Reproductive System
• The female reproductive system
is made up of internal organs and
external structures. Its function is
to enable reproduction of the
species. Sexual maturation is the
process that this system
undergoes in order to carry out
its role in the process
of pregnancy and birth.
 How does the female reproductive
system work?
• The female reproductive
system provides several
functions. The ovaries
produce the egg cells,
called the ova or
oocytes.
• The oocytes are then
transported to the
fallopian tube where
fertilization by a sperm
may occur.
• The fertilized egg then
moves to the uterus, where
the uterine lining has
thickened in response to
the normal hormones of
the reproductive cycle.
• Once in the uterus, the
fertilized egg can implant
into thickened uterine
lining and continue to
develop.
 Menstrual flow
• If implantation does not
take place, the uterine lining
is shed as menstrual flow. In
addition, the female
reproductive system
produces female sex
hormones that maintain the
reproductive cycle.
 Menopause
• During menopause, the
female reproductive system
gradually stops making the
female hormones necessary
for the reproductive cycle to
work. At this point, menstrual
cycles can
become irregular and
eventually stop. One year
after menstrual cycles stop,
the woman is considered to
be menopausal.

 Importance of Female Reproductive System

• The primary function of the female

reproductive system is to produce
the female egg cells which are
essential for reproduction. These
are called as the ova or oocytes.
• It is important to know that the
entire system is designed for
transporting the ova to the exact
fertilization site. Further, the
fertilization process of an egg after
interaction with sperm usually
happens in the fallopian tubes.
• The later phase of the fertilized egg
is associated with getting rooted
into the uterus walls. This is counted
as the beginning of the early stages
of pregnancy.
• In case fertilization or implantation
doesn’t occur, then the system is
aimed to menstruate. Moreover, the
female reproductive system is
responsible for producing female
sex hormones which maintain the
reproductive cycle.
