The human female reproductive system is a complex and beautiful system that has the capacity to nurture tiny cells into a thriving baby.

The internal organs include the ovaries, uterus, and vagina.
The external organs include the vulva and its various structures.

These organs and structures give women the ability to produce a baby. They do this by producing eggs to be fertilized by sperm from a man. The organs  also provide a place for the baby (fetus) to grow and develop. Other structures such as the breasts give the mother the ability to feed and nourish a baby after birth.

Functions of the female reproductive system are: -

Production of ovum eggs.
Receiving the sperms.
Providing suitable environment for fusion (fertilization) of the egg and the sperm.
Child birth.
Nourishment of the baby with breast milk until it can take a mixed diet.
