Atlas of the Body: Female Reproductive Organs
|
|
|
| |
The female reproductive organs include the vagina (a muscular passage
that connects the cervix with the external genital organs - one of
which is a sensitive mound of tissue called the clitoris), the cervix
(the lower part of the uterus that separates the body of the uterus
from the vagina), the uterus (a hollow, muscular structure), the
ovaries (two glands that produce certain hormones and contain tissue
sacs in which eggs develop), and fallopian tubes (two muscular channels
that connect the ovaries with the uterus). Fingerlike projections
called fimbriae (located at the opening of the fallopian tubes) sweep
an egg released from an ovary into the tube.
