The female reproductive system is responsible for producing eggs (ova), facilitating fertilization, and supporting the development of a fetus during pregnancy. It includes internal organs such as the ovaries, which produce eggs and hormones like estrogen and progesterone; the fallopian tubes, where fertilization typically occurs; the uterus, where a fertilized egg implants and develops into a fetus; the cervix, which connects the uterus to the vagina; and the vagina, which serves as the passage for menstrual flow, childbirth, and sexual intercourse. The system also includes external structures like the vulva. The female reproductive system plays a critical role in reproduction, hormonal regulation, and overall health.
