Question

Draw a neat diagram of the female reproductive system and label the parts associated with the following

(a) production of gamete,

(b) site of fertilisation

(c) site of implantation and,

(d) birth canal.

Answer 1

Ovary:

Ovary is the site of production of gametes (ovum) in the female reproductive system. Hence label ‘a’ is ovary.





Fallopian tube:

The fallopian tube consists of three parts: infundibulum,ampulla and isthmus.

Fertilisation occurs at the ampulla of the fallopian tube. Hence the label ‘b’ is fallopian tube.




Site of implantation:

Blastocyst attaches to the inner lining (endometrium) of the uterus and this process is called implantation. Hence the label ‘c’ is uterus.




Birth canal:

Cervix along with vagina forms the birth canal. The baby passes through the birth canal during parturition. Hence label ‘d’ is birth canal.
