Urinary system | Bladder (pushed to one side), & Ureter |
Oviduct/Fallopian tube | Carries ovum to uterus, fertilisation usually occurs in first third of oviduct |
Uterus/womb | -Where fetus develops, during pregnancy uterus increases in volume from 10m3 to 5dm3 -Contains a muscular wall & has a lining |
Funnel of oviduct | Collects ovum released from the ovary at ovulation |
Ovary | Contains follicles which develop the ova (female gametes), & produces oestrogen & progesterone |
Oestrogen | -Secreted by ovaries -stops FSH being produced so that only one egg matures in a cycle -stimulates the pituitary gland to release the hormone LH |
Progesterone | -Secreted by ovaries -Maintains the lining of the uterus during the middle part of the menstrual cycle & during pregnancy |
Female gametes (ova) | -Much larger than sperm (male gametes) -Produced in small numbers, one per month -Don't move, but have large food store |
