Varghese AU - R. James Swanson AU - Diana Vaamonde AU - Stefan S du Plessis AU - Ashok Agarwal AB - The female reproductive system is described from its gross anatomical, histological, and physiological perspectives. The gross and microscopic anatomical structures described in this chapter ainclude (1) the primary reproductive gland, that is, the ovary; (2) the secondary reproductive glands, that is, bulbourethral, cervical, and vestibular; and (3) the tubular structures developing from the paramesonephric ducts (Müllerian ducts), that is, fallopian (uterian or ovarian) tubes, uterus, and vagina. The physiology of the female reproductive system describes how these various anatomical structures interact in a normal reproductively fertile adult woman. This function necessarily includes the reproductive portion of the hypothalamus and pituitary (hypophysis) gland.
