Ovaries
Ovaries are like magical egg factories in your body, where eggs are stored and released each month. They're also superheroes because they produce important hormones that help you grow big and strong!
-
Fallopian Tubes
These are like cozy slides that carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus. It's where the magic happens when an egg meets sperm for a chance to create a new life!
-
Cervix
The cervix is like a gatekeeper to your uterus, which opens and closes during your menstrual cycle and childbirth. It's super smart because it protects your uterus like a gentle hug!
-
Uterus
Your uterus is a cozy nest where a baby grows if a sperm meets an egg and makes a baby. It's strong and stretchy, ready to hold and nurture new life!
-
Vagina
The vagina is like a comfy tunnel that connects the outside world to your uterus. It's flexible and self-cleaning, making sure everything stays healthy and happy down there!
