Also called the womb, the uterus is about the size of a small fist and is the place where a baby will grow during pregnancy.

body basics bullet OVARIES

These are the main female reproductive organs. Thousands of eggs (ova) are stored in the ovaries from before birth. These eggs begin to mature at puberty. They produce the female hormones called oestrogen and progesterone, which cause the changes of puberty.

body basics bullet CERVIX

Lower opening of the uterus. During childbirth, the cervix stretches to allow the baby to come out.

body basics bullet VAGINA

Passageway from the uterus to outside the body. This is where sperm is deposited during sex, where babies travel through during birth, and where menstrual blood passes from the uterus to outside the body.

body basics 2

body basics bullet HYMEN

The membrane that partly covers the opening of the vagina.

body basics bullet CLITORIS

Most sensitive “erogenous zone” and generally the primary anatomical source of human female sexual pleasure. It is located near the front junction of the labia minora above the opening of the urethra.
