3.9b - Female Reproductive System






before a pregnancy occurs the uterus structure is no larger then an orange.

Ovary - meiosis occurs and production of female gamete(eggs) 
Oviducts - carry the eggs to the uterus and where fertilization takes place. where sperm cells meet the egg cells. 
Uterus - wall of the uterus is made of muscle. stretches to accommodate pregnancy and contracts during birth. 
Lining of the uterus - develops the fertilized egg into the embryo and then the child. can see the development here of the placenta 
Cervix - entrance to the uterus - where sperm cells enter. 
Uterus space - where the sperm and egg cells move. Embryo develops into the unborn child
Vagina - collects the sperm cells and allows them to pass throw the cervix into the uterus
