Describe the human female reproductive system.
✓
Answer
- All the organs of the human female reproductive system are located inside the lower abdomen.
- There are pair of ovaries, pair of fallopian ducts and a single median uterus.
- The uterus opens out by vagina. In vaginal walls there are Bartholin’s glands.
- The urethra in female body is separate and not a common passage as in male body.
- The free end of fallopian duct is funnel-like having an opening in the centre. The oocyte released from the ovary due to ovulation is picked up by this funnel.
- The other end of fallopian duct opens into uterus. There are cilia on inner surface of oviduct. With the help of the cilia the oocyte is pushed to the uterus through the fallopian duct.
- The fertilization of oocyte can take place only in the middle’part of the fallopian duct.
- The lower end of uterus opens into vagina. The contractions of uterus help in the process of parturition.
- Vagina is the birth canal as well as copulatory passage. It is also a passage for menstrual flow.

A 45-year-old woman, a victim of a railway accident, was declared brain dead, her husband and children agreed to donate her kidneys, liver and heart. One of her kidneys was transplanted to a patient in MGM Hospital and the second kidney helped a patient in Jaslok hospital. Her liver helped the transplant of a patient in Wockhardt Hospital. And her heart was sent to Fortis to the patient on a super urgent priority list, transported via a green corridor covering 18km in less than 16 minutes. This was possible due to Green corridor.
