Female Reproductive System

The female reproductive system does not mass-produce gonads. The ovaries only produce one egg, or ova.
The ovaries contain the follicles, structures that the ovum develops from. When the ovum is released from the follicle, it is called ovulation.
Structures called fimbriae continually sweep over the ovary and send the ovum to the oviduct, which will direct the ovum to the uterus. The oviduct is the site of fertilization
