  The female reproductive system consists of a pair of ovaries, a pair of Fallopian tubes(oviducts), uterus, vagina, external genitalia and mammary glands. The ovaries have both an exocrine function (production of ova) and an endocrine function(secretion) of female sex hormones. The oviduct (Fallopian tube) conveys the egg from the ovary to the uterus, and also provides the appropriate environment for its fertilization. The uterus (womb) is a large, inverted, pear-shaped, elastic sac specialized for the development of the embryo. The vagina is adapted for receiving the penis during copulation, allowing menstrual flow and serving as the birth canal during parturition
