Understanding the Female Reproductive System: Anatomy, Functions, and Common Diseases

The female reproductive system is designed to facilitate fertilization and protect internal organs. Its external structures serve two primary functions: allowing sperm entry and safeguarding the internal genitalia against infections. Key components include the ovaries, cervix, and fallopian tubes. Women are born with approximately 2 million ova, but by puberty, only around 400,000 remain. Throughout her reproductive years, a woman typically releases about 400 eggs. Awareness of conditions like Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) and endometriosis is crucial for reproductive health.

  1. Female Reproductive Abner Diaz and Ivan Gutierrez

  2. Organs Involved in the System

  3. Functions of the Organs • The function of the external female reproductive structures (the genital) is twofold: To enable sperm to enter the body and to protect the internal genital organs from infectious organisms.

  4. Vocabulary • Anatomy • Bartholdi's glands • Birth control • Cervix • Fallopian tube

  5. Diseases of the System • Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) • Endometriosis

  6. Facts • Men and women are each born with two gonads (two internal sex organs)—the testes (plural) in men, and the ovaries in women. • The human female is born with all the ova (eggs) she will ever have—about 2 million. These are immature. By puberty, she will have only about 400,000 ova, the rest having dwindled away. During her reproductive life, a woman will only ovulate (release from the ovary) about 400 eggs. Which eggs are selected to mature or ripen to ovulation is still a biological mystery.
