Question
Draw a labelled diagram of the human female reproductive system. With the help of this diagram, explain the working of human female reproductive system.
Solution
Ovaries are the primary reproductive organs in females, which produce ovum or egg. Above the ovary lies the oviducts, or fallopian tubes, which are connected to the uterus. The eggs move into the oviduct from the ovaries, where it gets fertilised by a sperm. The fertilised ovum develops into a baby in the uterus. The uterus is connected to the vagina by the cervix. The vagina opens outside the body and receives sperms.
