The female reproductive system produces eggs and supports pregnancy. The ovaries produce mature oocytes and release them one at a time on a cyclic basis.
Fertilization takes place in the oviduct and the fertilized egg makes its way into the uterus where it implants and begins to develop into a fetus.
Menstrual cycles consists of ovarian and uterine cycles.
