How many eggs does the female reproductive system produce each month?

well firstly read your science book like bladrins and secondliy in only joking the bit itha ovary and it realises and egg each month meaning on her period and not pregnant atleast that's what my teacher said ask your freind to help if im wrong tho


How often does the mature female reproductive system release eggs?

Well, a womans cycle is nearly impossible to predict but the "standard" cycle is that a woman ovulates 14 days after her period.. Conception usually occurs about 5-7 days after intercourse2. Your most fertile period is about 5 days before ovulation3. For most(but not all) women ovulation occurs about 14 days prior to her period.


Where do ova mature?

Ova (eggs) mature in the ovaries of the female reproductive system. During the menstrual cycle, one egg is released from an ovary each month in a process called ovulation.


How does the female reproductive system work?

When females ae born they already have all of the eggs that they will produce in their lifetime: located in the OVARIES. Each month an egg is released.It travels through the FALLOPIAN TUBES and then goes to the UTERUS. If fertilization occures(sperm meets the egg) then the egg will attach to the UTEREAN WALL and a baby will form.The female reproductive system is designed to carry out several functions. It produces the female egg cells necessary for reproduction, called the ova or oocytes. The system is designed to transport the ova to the site of fertilization. Conception, the fertilization of an egg by a sperm, normally occurs in the fallopian tubes. After conception, the uterus offers a safe and favorable environment for a baby to develop before it is time for it to make its way into the outside world. If fertilization does not take place, the system is designed to menstruate (the monthly shedding of the uterine lining). In addition, the female reproductive system produces female sex hormones that maintain the reproductive cycle.During menopause the female reproductive system gradually stops making the female hormones necessary for the reproductive cycle to work. When the body no longer produces these hormones a woman is considered to be menopausal.


Is it true that the female urinary and reproductive systems are completely separate and do not share structures?

That is correct for the most part. Except for the location, the urethra plays no role in reproduction in females. In males, the urethra is a major part of the reproductive system. The seminal vesicles attach to the urethra, and all the other internal male reproductive organs attach to the seminal vesicles. So a male both urinates and ejaculates out of his urethra. Something to note is that while things like "female ejaculation" and female orgasm serve a psychological role and add to the enjoyment of sex, they serve no reproductive role. A woman can get pregnant as long as viable semen enters her body at the right time of the month, assuming she is healthy and of childbearing age.

What is the function of ovaries in the female reproductive system?

Ovaries release an egg each month which causes a woman to either menstruate or become pregnant. They also produce the hormones estrogen and progesteron, which make up the secondary sex characteristics of a female at puberty.


'Where does the egg mature in the female reproductive system?

In the Female Reproductive System, an Egg Matures in either ONE of the TWO Ovaries; this occurs approximately every 28 days.When an Egg Matures in the Ovary, it is then Released into the fallopian tube, this is called Ovulation. Anytime after Ovulation (and before Menstruation), the Mature Egg is available for fertilization. During Ovulation and immediately after, the uterus lining thickens in preperation for a fertilized egg.If, however, the Egg is NOT fertilized then the Unfertilized Egg, the thickened uterus lining, as well as some blood and fluids is shed; this happens approximately every 28 days and is known as Menstruation.

Which organ of the female reproductive system sheds an unfertilized egg every month?

The uterus has a lining of blood in it. When the unfertilized egg passes through the uterus it sheds this lining which causes the blood to come out.

What organs are involved with the reproductive system?

In plants, the flowers. In animals, the genitals/gonads.testes and ovaries


Can you explain how ovulation and menstruation are interconnected in the female reproductive system"?

During ovulation, an egg is released from the ovary and if it is not fertilized, menstruation occurs. Ovulation and menstruation are interconnected as they are part of the menstrual cycle, which prepares the body for potential pregnancy each month.

What releases female gametes?

Female gametes, or egg cells, are released from the ovaries during a process called ovulation. Each month, one egg is released into the fallopian tube, where it can be fertilized by a sperm cell.
