The reproductive role of the female reproductive organ is far more complex than that of the male. The primary functions of the female reproductive organs are as follows:

• Secrete sex hormones.
  
• Produce eggs (ovaries).
  
• Receive the male penis (spermatozoa) during sexual act (the vagina).
  
• Serve as the site of fertilisation (fallopian tube).
  
• Nourishe the fertilised egg (uterus).
  
• Carrie and protects the developing embryo (uterus).
  
• Deliver the fetus through the birth canal (uterus and vagina).
  
• Provide nourishment to the baby with milk secreted by mammary glands in the breast.
