1. Ovaries: The oval shaped glands that are located on either side of the uterus that produce the ovum (eggs) and hormones.
2. Fallopian Tubes: The narrow tubes located at the top of the uterus. The fallopian tube serves as a tunnel for the ova (egg) to travel from the ovary to the uterus.
3. Uterus: The hollow, pear-shaped organ where the fetus develops and grows until birth.
4. Cervix: The lower part of the uterus that opens into the vagina.
5. Vagina: The canal that joins the cervix to the outside of the body. The vagina is also known as the birth canal. The vagina is also used for sexual intercourse.
