Summary Introduction
To write:
The correct term used for the female external genitalia.
Introduction:
The reproductive systems of both sexes consist of external and internal structures that produce gametes secrete the hormones required for reproductive function and give a route to deliver the gametes through ducts or tubes. Improper development, disease, damage and blockage of reproductive structures can cause infertility.

Identify the female reproductive organ responsible for the following functions.
1.) female gonads that release the oocytes during ovulation.
2.) (Oviducts) where fertilization occurs.
3.) innermost lining of the uterus where embryo implants and develop

5.)Projection of uterus into the vagina; leads to the uterus.
6.) main entrance to the female reproductive tract.
7.) the homologue of he penis in females.
