Ovaries
of a woman correspond to the testes of a man
Ovaries
are slightly flattened bean-shaped bodies
Ovaries
are 2 to 5 centimeters in length and 2 to 3 centimeters in width
A cross section of the ovary shows many
follicles
at various stages of development
Female sex cells, egg cells or ova develop from these
follicles
There are two
oviducts
(
fallopian tubes
) each with a funnel-shaped opening leading to the uterus
Eggs or ova produced in the ovaries pass through the tube-like
oviducts
on their way to the uterus
The
uterus
central part is made up of muscles that contract and expand, where the fetus or unborn baby develops
A
follicle
is a small sac of fluid in the ovaries that contains a developing egg.
The two
oviducts,
each with a funnel shaped opening, leads to the
uterus.
Uterus
is where the unborn baby develops.
