The female reproductive system in mammals consists of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, and vagina. The ovaries produce ova (eggs), which are released into the fallopian tubes. Fertilization of the egg typically occurs in the fallopian tubes. If fertilization occurs, the resulting embryo implants in the uterus, where it develops into a fetus. The cervix serves as the entrance to the uterus, and the vagina functions as the birth canal and copulatory organ.
