for menstrual flow from the uterus. During
childbirth, the baby passes through the
vagina (birth canal).
4. The cervix is the lower third portion
of the uterus which forms the neck of
the uterus and opens into the vagina.
The cervical is allows menstrual blood
to flow out from the vagina during
menstruation.
• The endometrium is the lining of the
inside of the uterus. During the
phase of the menstrual cycle, the
endometrium thickens in

should conception occur.
5. Ovaries
• The ovaries are a pair of ovum-producing glands . The ovaries have two distinct functions.
They produce ova (also called eggs) and they produce female hormones.
• Each ovary is oval shaped and roughly the size of an almond.
• Each ovary is attached to the fimbria of the fallopian tube.
7. Seminal Vesicle
• The seminal vesicles are sac-like pouches
that attach to the vas deferens near the
base of the bladder
• The seminal vesicles produce a sugar-
rich fluid (fructose) that provides sperm
with a source of energy and helps with
the sperms’ motility (ability to move).
The fluid of the seminal vesicles makes
up most of the volume of a man’s
ejaculatory fluid, or ejaculate.

The urinary bladder has a
rg more or less spherical
shape
The urinary bladder is a
rather simple organ
The urine, produced by
the kidneys, is transported
by the ureters towards the
bladder to be stored
there. Therefore the
bladder is needed for
storage of urine, so that
we humans do not lose
urine all day long.
9. Vas Deferens
• The tube that connects the testes with the urethra.
The vas deferens is a coiled duct that conveys sperm
from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct and the
urethra
10. • the urethra (from Greek
οὐρήθρα - ourethra) is a tube
that connects the urinary
bladder to the genitals for the
removal of fluids out of the
body.
