There are two types of sex, male and female. Both the sexes have their own
unique type of reproductive system.
Shape of their reproductive structures is also different from one another. They
are in such a shape that both are able to produce the eggs or sperms.
Female reproductive system is located in the pelvis. Pelvis is the lower part of
abdomen. Vaginal opening is surrounded by two parts which are in shape of lips
and that’s the reason they are called labia. Small sensory organ clitoris is
located at the front of valve where the two parts of the labia joins to cover
the vaginal opening.In between the labia there is an opening of urethra which is
the canal through which urine flows out of the body from the bladder. Outer
labia of a girl get covered by public hair when the girl becomes mature; it is
the sign of sexual maturity.
Vagina, uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes are the internal female reproductive
organs. Vagina is like a hollow tube which extends from uterus to the vaginal
opening covered by the labia. Vulva is the external organ of female reproductive
system, which means to cover. Vulva is located between the legs and covers
vagina and other reproductive organs which are located inside the body of
female. Length of vagina of a grown woman is about 3 to 5 inches. Because of
muscular walls of vagina it can contract and expand. This functionality of
vagina of becoming narrow and wideallows it to become slim so that tampon may
not get lost inside the body and widedue to which the baby gets out of there
according to the condition.To keep the vagina moist and protected, muscular
walls are lined with mucous membranes. Vagina performs several functions as a
female reproductive system. It allows reproductive organ of men to combine with
it in sexual intercourse, and also at the time of pregnancy the child comes out
through vagina
and bloodcomes out through vagina only in the time of menstrualcycle.
Hymen is also one part of female reproductive system.It is the thin sheet of
tissues which can have more than one hole which covers the opening of the
vagina. Hymens usually differ from woman to woman. After having sex for the
first time most women find that hymensare stretched or torn. Many women after
having first time sex see that blood comes out of their vagina and also feels
the pain. If the woman gets engaged in sex for more than one time, they don’t
feel much change in their hymen.
Opening of the cervix is very small as the mouth of the straw, so that even a
tampon cannot get lost. Cervix is the part where the vagina gets connected with
the uterus. At the time of pregnancy the cervix can expand so that the baby may
come out of it.
Female reproductive system is responsible to continue generations. When the
female reproductive system meets the male reproductive system, woman becomes
pregnant (at the time of unprotected sex).
