Uterine lining, the unfertilized egg, and some blood flow out of the body.
Functions of the Female Reproductive System: Produces estrogen. Produces, stores, and transports ova. Provides a place for fertilization to occur. Protects and nourishes the fertilized egg as it grows and matures into a human being.
Ovary: *Female glands that produce and store ovum and produce and secrete female hormones. Ovary
Fallopian Tubes: *Tubes that transport the egg from the ovary to the uterus. Fertilization occurs here. Fallopian Tube Ovary
Uterus: *Where the fetus is nourished prior to birth. Fallopian Tube Ovary Uterus
Uterine Lining: *The inner layer of the uterus. Implantation occurs here. If there is no implantation, the lining is shed through menstruation. Fallopian Tube Ovary Uterus Uterine Lining
Cervix: *The bottom of the uterus that opens into the vaginal canal. Allows the passage of menstrual fluid. Protects reproductive system and developing fetus from pathogens. Fallopian Tube Ovary Uterus Uterine Lining Cervix
Vagina: *The birth canal. It leads from the uterus to the outside of the body. Fallopian Tube Ovary Uterus Uterine Lining Vagina Cervix
How to take care of the Female Reproductive System: 1. Get regular checkups by a physician. 2. Bathe regularly. 3. During menstruation (period) change tampons and sanitary pads frequently. 4. Practice sexual abstinence before marriage

Vas Deferens: *Transports mature sperm to the urethra Vas Deferens Epididymis Testes

Prostate Gland: *Secretes fluid that nourishes and protects sperm. Vas Deferens Seminal Vesicle Prostate Gland Epididymis Testes
Urethra: *Functions as an exit from the body. Releases sperm and urine. Vas Deferens Seminal Vesicle Prostate Gland Urethra Epididymis Testes
Penis: *Male reproductive organ Vas Deferens Seminal Vesicle Prostate Gland Urethra Penis Epididymis Testes
Scrotum: *Holds the testicles and keep the testicles at an optimal temperature. Vas Deferens Seminal Vesicle Prostate Gland Urethra Penis Epididymis Testes Scrotum
