💡 Where new life grows

The female body carries a remarkable organ — the uterus — a stretchy, bag-like home where a single cell can grow into a baby over nine months.

What are the parts of the female reproductive system?
Female Reproductive System Ovaries — make eggs and release hormones Oviducts — carry the egg to the uterus Uterus — where the foetus develops Cervix, vagina — passage to the outside
  • A pair of ovaries produce the eggs (female germ cells) and release hormones.
  • The oviducts (fallopian tubes) connect each ovary to the uterus.
  • The uterus is a bag-like structure where a foetus develops; it opens into the vagina through a narrow passage called the cervix .
