Let’s go step by step to label each part of the female reproductive system and write its function.
We’ll look at the diagram and match each number to the correct organ, then explain what that organ does in simple terms.
---
Step 1: Identify Part 1
Part 1 is pointing to the oval-shaped organ on the side — this is the
ovary.
→ Function: The ovary makes eggs (also called ova) and hormones like estrogen and progesterone. These hormones help control the menstrual cycle and support pregnancy.
---
Step 2: Identify Part 2
Part 2 is the tube-like structure connecting the ovary to the uterus — this is the
fallopian tube (also called uterine tube).
→ Function: This is where fertilization usually happens — when sperm meets egg. It also carries the egg from the ovary to the uterus.
---
Step 3: Identify Part 3
Part 3 is the large, pear-shaped organ in the middle — this is the
uterus (womb).
→ Function: This is where a baby grows during pregnancy. The lining builds up each month to prepare for a possible pregnancy, and if no pregnancy occurs, it sheds during menstruation.
---
Step 4: Identify Part 4
Part 4 is the narrow lower part of the uterus — this is the
cervix.
→ Function: It connects the uterus to the vagina. During childbirth, it opens (dilates) to let the baby pass through. It also produces mucus that helps or blocks sperm depending on the time of month.
---
Step 5: Identify Part 5
Part 5 is the muscular canal leading outside the body — this is the
vagina.
→ Function: It’s the birth canal during delivery. It also receives the penis during sex and allows menstrual blood to leave the body.

Now we can fill in the table with our answers.
Final Answer:
| PART | FUNCTION |
|------|----------|
| 1 | Makes eggs and hormones (estrogen and progesterone). |
| 2 | Carries egg from ovary to uterus; place where fertilization usually happens. |
| 3 | Where baby grows during pregnancy; sheds lining monthly if no pregnancy. |
| 4 | Connects uterus to vagina; opens during childbirth; controls sperm entry with mucus. |
| 5 | Birth canal; receives penis during sex; lets menstrual blood flow out. |
