The female reproductive system consists of a pair of ovaries and oviducts (fallopian tubes), a uterus and a cervix. The ovaries produce eggs/ova and secrete the female sex hormones - oestrogen and progesterone. Oviducts (fallopian tubes) help in the transportation of the egg from the ovaries to the uterus. The uterus is pear-shaped, muscular, thick-walled organ where the fertilized egg gets implanted. The cervix opens to the vagina and is the site for reception of semen during copulation.
