- Fallopian Tubes: Transport eggs from the ovaries to the uterus; site of fertilization.
- Ovaries: Produce and release eggs (ova) and secrete hormones like estrogen and progesterone.
- Endometrium: Inner lining of the uterus; thickens each month to prepare for potential pregnancy; sheds during menstruation if no pregnancy occurs.
- Uterus: Muscular organ where a fertilized egg implants and develops into a fetus during pregnancy.
- Cervix: Lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina; dilates during childbirth and allows menstrual flow to exit.
- Vagina: Muscular canal connecting the cervix to the external genitalia; serves as birth canal and receives sperm during intercourse.
