Functions of the female reproduction system
Ovaries & the uterus
the ovaries are the little oval-shaped glands and they produce eggs and hormones. the uterus is a hollow pair-shaped organ that is considered a home to the developing fetus.
The Cervix
it allows the flow of menstrual blood from the uterus into the vagina and direct the sperms into the uterus.
Vagina
The muscular tube leading from the external genitals to the cervix of the uterus
How Childbirth Works
- Divided into three stages.
- Contractions begin that cause changes in the cervix, and ends when the cervix is fully dilated.
- The "pushing stage", begins when cervix is fully dilated and ends with the birth of the baby.
- Delivery of the placenta, which is the flattened circular organ in the uterus which nourishes the fetus through the umbilical cord before birth

There are several ways homeostasis may be disrupted in the reproduction system, which include sexually transmitted diseases and cancers that begin in the organs of the reproductive system.
Genital warts are a sexually transmitted infection (STI)
Ovarian Cancer - Ovarian cancer is cancer that starts in the ovaries.Ovarian cancer often goes undetected until it has spread within the pelvis and abdomen. At this late stage, ovarian cancer is difficult to treat and is often fatal.
