Solution

The female reproductive system mainly consists of two ovaries connected to the uterus via fallopian tubes. This arrangement is situated posterior to the urinary bladder. The uterus opens on the lower end into the vagina via the cervix. The vagina open to the outside and are covered with lip-like folds called labia minora and labia majora. These structures also hide the clitoris which is often referred to as the female pseudo-penis.
