Question

Draw a neat labelled diagrammatic sectional view of the female reproductive system.

Answer 1

Hint: From the ejaculation of sperm and the fertilization of eggs or release of egg all are involved in the female reproductive process that is carried out by the reproductive organs.

Complete Answer:
- The female reproductive organs includes; vagina, uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. The vagina is a muscular tube that receives the penis during the sexual intercourse and from where the new born baby leaves the uterus during childbirth.
- The uterus is the organ that is nourished and holds a fetus that is under development stage while the egg gets fertilized. The ovaries are the female gonads when it gets mature it is released down inside the fallopian tube.
- The fallopian tubes involve in the transportation of ova from the ovaries to the uterus and there the egg either gets fertilized or released to menstruation.
- The fallopian cells have cell lines that consist of small hair-like projections considered as cilia that allow the movement of ovum to the uterus, therefore, the passage of ova through the female reproductive tract is due to ciliary movement.

- In the reproduction process, fertilization takes place in which the male sperm and female egg get fused to form zygote that develops into a fetus inside the uterus.
- During this process the semen that ejaculates by the males while sexual intercourse comprise thousands of sperm cells. The sperm move towards the uterus and reach to the fallopian tube opening.
- From the thousands of sperm few can reach the fallopian tube. Now, the secondary oocytes produced from the mature graafian follicle of the ovary enter inside the fallopian tube where it gets fertilized and released from the ovary.
- The oocyte is surrounded by several sperms but it gets fertilized only by one sperm. The sperm enter in the secondary oocyte in meiosis II phase and completes the meiosis this results in the formation of egg. After this phase, within 48 to 72 hours the sperm and the egg fused and formed the zygote.

Note: The fetus is formed only when the ovaries get fertilized by the sperm. The female body releases ova to the uterus every month where they wait to get fertilized if not they get released or diffused and come out as blood that is termed as the menstrual cycle.
