Answer 1

Hint: The female reproductive system matures at puberty and is immature at the time of birth. It constitutes sex organs that help in the process of reproduction. It consists of various parts each performing different functions.

Complete answer:
The given diagram is the female reproductive system.
1. Fallopian tube or oviduct
2. Ovary
3. Uterus
4. Cervix
5. Vagina
Prevention of the occurrence of pregnancy is contraception.
Advantages of the contraceptive method are:
-Avoidance of unplanned pregnancy.
-Reduces risk of reproductive-related cancer.
-To treat menstrual-related diseases.

Additional Information:
-Contraception aims to prevent pregnancy. A woman can get pregnant if a man's sperm reaches one among her eggs (ova). Contraception tries to prevent this from happening by keeping the egg and sperm apart or by stopping egg production.
-Contraception allows them to put off having children until their bodies are fully ready to support a pregnancy. It also can prevent pregnancy for older women who face pregnancy-related risks. Contraceptive prevents unwanted pregnancies and lowers the need for abortion.
-Disadvantages of contraception: Periods may stop, or be irregular, light, or more frequent. Maybe temporary side effects may arise such as acne, breast tenderness, weight change, and headaches. May get ovarian cysts.

Note:
Parturition is the process of the delivery of a baby. The signal is sent by the fully developed fetus and the placenta that results in the stimulation of mild uterine contraction which will result in the release of the oxytocin hormone from the pituitary gland. The main function of oxytocin is to cause forceful myometrium contraction that results in the birth of the baby.
