Explanation:

The vagina is a muscular tube-shaped connection that extends from the vaginal opening to the uterus. Vagina walls are very muscular, which allows contraction and expansion movements. It is located just between the urethra/bladder and the rectus. Menstruation, copulation, and birth occur through the vagina.

The uterus is a muscular and hollow organ, also located between the bladder and the rectus. The uterus wall is formed of three layers: perimetrium, mesometrium, and endometrium. This organ is separated into two parts: the uterus body and the cervix, which protrudes to the superior area of the vagina. Here is located the uterine opening that communicates the vagina with the uterus cavity. The final rounded portion is called "uterus fundus", and each of the two extremes is called "uterus horn". These horns are united to the Fallopian tubes.

Fallopian tubes are ducts that communicate each of the ovaries with each of the uterus horns. These tubes receive the oocytes that are getting out of the ovaries and carry them to the uterus. In their way, they might meet a spermatozoid and be fertilized.

Both ovaries have an oval shape, of approximately 3 cm in length each and 1 cm in width. They are located at each side of the uterus and are in charge of the production of the feminine gametes (the whole ovulation process).
