FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

       This comprises of female gonads, i.e, a pair of ovaries with associated structures viz. a pair of oviducts (fallopian tubes), vagina ("birth canal") and uterus, etc. Uterus is meant for the anchorage of the fertilised ovum (i.e, zygote ) or blastocyst to its wall, called as implantation and therefore commonly known as "womb".

Note: Opening for passage urine (urehra) and vagina are separate in females as opposed to males.
