The female reproductive system consists of a pair of ovaries, a pair of Fallopian tubes
(oviducts), uterus, vagina, external genitalia and mammary glands. The ovaries have bolh an exocrine function (production of ova) and an endocrine function (secretion) of female sex hormones.

The oviduct (Fallopian tube) conveys the egg from the ovary to the uterus, and also provides the appropriate environment for its fertilisation. The uterus (womb) is a large, inverted, pear-shaped, elastic sac specialised for the development of the embryo

The vagina is adapted for receiving the penis during copulation, allowing menstrual flow and serving as the birth canal during parturition
