	Female Reproductive System
		Reproduction — the process by which organisms make more organisms like themselves — is one of the things that set living things apart from nonliving matter.
		But even though the reproductive system is essential to keeping a species alive, unlike other body systems, it's not essential to keeping an individual alive.
		A female's internal reproductive organs are the vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries.

		These genes come from the male's sperm and the female's egg, which are produced by the male and female reproductive systems.
		If you think your child may have symptoms of a problem with her reproductive system or if you have questions about her growth and development, talk to your child's doctor - many problems with the female reproductive system can be treated.

		In the human female reproductive system, ova are produced in the ovaries, two small organs set in the pelvic cavity below and to either side of the navel.
		In the male reproductive system sperm are produced in the seminiferous tubules of the testes, two organs contained in the scrotum, an external sac in the groin.
		Disorders that may affect the proper functioning of the reproductive system include abnormal hormone secretion, sexually transmitted diseases, and the presence of cancerous tissue in the region.

		The female body carries the newly created human being for about nine months until he or she are ready to be exposed to the outside world, and function independently.
		The female reproductive system is comprised of parts that nurture the evolving tissue into a person (pregnency), and the parts which allow for conception -- the combination of a female cell and a male cell to a fertilized egg, which is then to be nurtured towards full term of birth of a new human being.
		The closing down of the female reproductive system is linked with general body downgrade (menopause), for which today there is an effective array of treatment.

	Reproductive System
		Animals’ reproductive systems can be divided into the internal reproductive organs and the external genitalia.
		In internal fertilization, the eggs are fertilized within the reproductive tract of the female, and then are covered with eggshells and/or remain within the body of the female during their development.

		Sexual reproduction is the process of producing offspring for the survival of the species, and passing on hereditary traits from one generation to the next.
		The male and female gonads (testes and ovaries) produce sex cells (ova and sperm) and the hormones necessary for the proper development, maintenance, and functioning of the organs of reproduction and other organs and tissues.
		The system structures are the ovary, uterine tubes, uterus, vagina, vulva, and mammary glands.

		This is quite different than the male in which spermatogonia and primary spermatocytes continue to be produced throughout the reproductive lifetime.

	The History of the Female Reproductive System
		Female genital organs were often explained as "lesser" male organs due to differences in size, complexion and orientation.
		Thus the male 'sperm' is equivalent to the clotting agent of milk, and the female 'sperm' is equivalent to that of milk.
		By contrast, the male reproductive organs were described in far less detail, undoubtedly because there was little considered to be peculiar about them.

		We will examine both structures during the lab on the male reproductive system because emphasizing the similarities between the two organs make it is most informative way to understand them.

		During puberty, estrogen contributes to long bone growth and feminization of the skeleton; stimulates the female pattern of fat deposition; and stimulates the appearance of axillary and pubic hair.
		Progesterone cooperates with estrogen in stimulating growth of the breasts and is primarily responsible for the secretory phase of the uterine cycle as the uterus prepares for implantation.

		At birth each female carries a lifetime supply of developing oocytes, each of which is in Prophase I. A developing egg (secondary oocyte) is released each month from puberty until menopause, a total of 400-500 eggs.
		The female arousal has the swelling of the areas around the vagina, erection of the clitoris and nipples, and secretion of lubricating fluids in the vagina.
		Reproductive system organs and kidneys form from mesoderm.

		The female reproductive tract includes an egg-producing unit, the ovary, and a long tube through which the discharged ova must travel (and in which fertilization takes place), the uterine tube or oviduct.
		Following the normal period of development the term fetus is expelled through the cervix, which may be considered as a separate component of the system, and eventually through the vagina, the last component of the tract.
		If the efforts of the reproductive apparatus come to naught, and no pregnancy results, the glands regress (though they are never lost entirely in most animals) and the height of the epithelium and lamina propria diminishes.

	The Reproductive System
		In the reproductive process, the vagina functions as a two-way street, accepting the penis and sperm during intercourse and roughly nine months later, serving as the avenue of birth through which the new baby enters the world.
		During the course of an average reproductive lifespan, roughly 300 mature eggs are produced for potential conception.
		The egg cells remain inactive until puberty, when the reproductive system is activated by a cascade of substances called sex hormones.
