The internal and external sex organs that function in the reproduction of new offspring comprise the female reproductive system. The female reproductive system in humans is immature at birth and matures at puberty to be able to produce gametes and carry a foetus to full term. The vagina, uterus, Fallopian tubes, and ovaries are the internal sex organs. The cervix connects the vagina to the uterus, allowing for sexual intercourse and birth. The embryo, which develops into the foetus, is housed in the uterus or womb. The uterus also secretes substances that aid sperm transit to the Fallopian tubes, where sperm fertilises ova (egg cells) produced by the ovaries.
