Question

Describe the female reproductive system of human beings with a diagram.

Hint:

The menstrual cycle and hormonal regulation play a crucial role in female reproductive health.

Answer 1

The female reproductive system consists of the following main organs: 
- Uterus: Supports fetal development during pregnancy. 
- Ovary: Produces eggs (ova) and hormones like estrogen and progesterone. 
- Endometrium: The inner lining of the uterus, which thickens during the menstrual cycle to support embryo implantation. 
- Cervix: A narrow passage between the uterus and vagina that allows the passage of sperm and menstrual blood. 
- Vagina: Serves as the birth canal and receives sperm during reproduction. 
Function: The female reproductive system plays a crucial role in reproduction, including egg production, fertilization, fetal development, and childbirth. A labelled diagram helps in understanding its structure.
