THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

The female reproductive system is formed by external sex organs and internal sex organs (located inside the pelvis).
The ovaries produce egg cells. There is one ovary on each side of the uterus.
The uterus is where a fertilised egg cell develops into a fetus.
The fallopian tubes connect the ovary with the uterus. The egg cell travels along them.
The cervix is the narrow part of the uterus that leads to the vagina.
The vagina is a muscular canal that leads from the vulva (the external organ) to the uterus.
