#female_reproductive_system  the reproductive system of females
  supertype:  reproductive_system__genital_system__genitalsystem  organs and tissues involved in the production and maturation of gametes and in their union and subsequent development as offspring
  part of:  female_body
  part:  ovum__egg_cell__eggcell  the female reproductive cell; the female gamete
  part:  female_genitalia__female_genitals__female_genital_organ  external female sex organs
     part:  vagina  the lower part of the female reproductive tract; a moist canal in female mammals extending from the labia minora to the uterus; "the vagina receives the penis during coitus"; "the vagina is elastic enough to allow the passage of a fetus"
        part:  vaginal_artery__vaginalartery__arteria_vaginalis__arteriavaginali  a branch of the internal iliac that provides blood for the vagina and the base of the bladder and the rectum
        part:  urethral_orifice__external_orifice  the orifice through which urine is discharged
        part:  hymen__maidenhead__virginal_membrane  a fold of tissue that partly covers the entrance to the vagina of a virgin
  part:  ovary  one of usually two organs that produce ova and (in vertebrates) secrete estrogen and progesterone
     part:  ovarian_artery__ovarianartery__arteria_ovarica__arteriaovarica  the artery that branches from the aorta and supplies blood to the ovaries
     part:  Graafian_follicle  a vascular body in a mammalian ovary enclosing a developing egg
        part:  corpus_luteum  yellow endocrine tissue that forms in a ruptured Graafian follicle following the release of an ovum
  part:  Fallopian_tube__uterine_tube__uterinetube  either of a pair of tubes conducting the egg from the ovary to the uterus
  part:  uterus__womb  a hollow muscular organ in the pelvic cavity of females; contains the developing fetus
     part:  uterine_cervix__uterinecervix__cervix__cervix_uteri  necklike opening to the uterus
     part:  uterine_artery__uterineartery__arteria_uterina__arteriauterina  a branch of the internal iliac artery that supplies the uterus and the upper part of the vagina
     part:  Fallopian_tube__uterine_tube__uterinetube  either of a pair of tubes conducting the egg from the ovary to the uterus
     part:  uterine_cavity__uterinecavity  the space inside the uterus between the cervical canal and the Fallopian tubes
     part:  endometrium  the mucous membrane that lines the uterus; thickens under hormonal control and (if pregnancy does not occur) is shed in menstruation; if pregnancy occurs it is shed along with the placenta at parturition
     part:  myometrium  the smooth muscle forming the wall of the uterus
     part:  placenta  the vascular structure in the uterus of most mammals providing oxygen and nutrients for and transferring wastes from the developing fetus
        part:  caul__veil__embryonic_membrane__embryonicmembrane  the inner embryonic membrane of higher vertebrates (especially when covering the head at birth)
  part:  vagina  the lower part of the female reproductive tract; a moist canal in female mammals extending from the labia minora to the uterus; "the vagina receives the penis during coitus"; "the vagina is elastic enough to allow the passage of a fetus"
  part:  vulva  external parts of the female genitalia
     part:  vena_labialis__labial_vein  veins draining the lips of the vulva
     part:  urethra  duct through which urine is discharged in most mammals and which serves as the male genital duct
        part:  urethral_orifice__external_orifice  the orifice through which urine is discharged
        part:  urethral_sphincter__musculus_sphincter_urethrae  a striated sphincter muscle that constricts the urethra
     part:  mons_veneris__mons__mons_pubis  a mound of fatty tissue covering the pubic area in women
     part:  labium  any of the four lip-shaped folds of the female vulva
     part:  labia_majora__labiamajora  the two outer folds of the vulva
     part:  pudendal_cleft__urogenital_cleft__rima_pudendi__rima_vulvae__pudendal_cleavage__pudendal_slit__vulvar_slit  the fissure between the labia majora
     part:  labia_minora__labiaminora  the two inner folds of the vulva
     part:  vestibule_of_the_vagina  the space between the labia minora containing the orifice of the urethra
     part:  clitoris__clit__button  a female sexual organ homologous to the penis
        part:  glans_clitoridis  small mass of erectile tissue at the end of the body of the clitoris
        part:  foreskin__prepuce  a fold of skin covering the tip of the clitoris
  part:  Bartholin's_gland  either of the two posterior vestibular glands that secrete a lubricating mucus; homologous to Cowper's gland in the male
