the vagina
the uterus
the fallopian tubes
the ovaries
The female reproductive organs are located in the pelvis, between the urinary bladder and the rectum.
The ovaries have two main functions.
The production of specialized hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone.
Ovulation, which is the release of eggs that are needed for reproduction.
The hormones produced by the ovaries are very important in keeping ovulation regular. These hormones also prepare the inner lining of the uterus to proceed with a pregnancy.
When an egg is released, it goes down to the uterus through the fallopian tube, where it may be fertilized. If the egg is not fertilized, the egg and the inner lining of the uterus are discharged to the outside of the body during the menstrual period.
The uterus is pear shaped. It is about three inches long and has three layers. The inner layer of the uterus is called the endometrium.
As menopause approaches, periods become irregular and eventually stop. Menopause occurs when the ovaries quit making hormones and releasing eggs.
When a woman gets pregnant, the fetus stays in the uterus until it is born. The uterus is able to expand greatly in size. The middle, muscular layer of the uterus creates labor contractions, which cause the baby to come out.
The lowest part of the uterus is called the cervix, which opens into the vagina. The vagina opens to the outside of the body between the urethra, which is the urinary bladder opening, and the rectum.
The urinary bladder is located in front of the vagina and uterus. The kidneys drain urine into the bladder through two tubes called ureters.
