[Music] we have taken a look at the reproductive system in males now before moving on to the process of fertilization we need to understand the place where this process takes place yes I am referring to the female reproductive system the site of overproduction fertilization and the uterus are all a part of the female reproductive system let's have a look at this important system in this video do you remember where we began studying the male reproductive system yes it was the site of sperm production similarly we will begin learning from the site of production of the egg cell or simply the ovum so the journey begins from these oval structures called the ovaries one ovary on either side did you notice that the ovaries are connected to these two black structures but they're not connected directly if we look at it carefully we find that there are finger-like projections which connect the two these finger-like projections are very important for receiving the ovum when released from the ovaries but do they have a scientific name yes these finger-like projections are called the fembra ii the fembra ii helped to hold the ovum released and also helped to sweep it to the tubes present ahead but why does the ovum require the sweeping activity cantered travel on its own no it can't unlike the motile sperm the ovum is non motile it cannot move until it is pushed or swept by some other cells now these two black structures that we are referring to since a long time also have a scientific name they are called as the fallopian tubes and what do you think will be their importance let me guess is it that they connect the ovaries to the uterus yes that is definitely one important function but more important than this is the fact that the fallopian tubes are the site of fertilization yes it is the Philip tubes where the sperms are able to fertilize the ovum and from here the zygote starts dividing and grows into an embryo now where will this embryo go further needless to say the uterus we know that the uterus commonly referred to as the womb is the site of development of a baby and when the growth of the baby is completed it comes out of the mother's body through the vagina do we know what the vagina is it is basically a small passage that opens to the exterior it is the site where sperms are received in the female's body on the other hand the same passage is used for passing the baby out of the body during childbirth now that you've learned both the reproductive systems can you tell me which one is more complex than the other one just think for a moment if you think it is the male reproductive system and you may be wrong yes the female reproductive system is more complex the system is designed for the complete process of fertilization as well as the growth and the development of the baby that is a reason why it is slightly more complicated compared to the male reproductive system this was just an overview of how the female reproductive system is we would get to know how every organ in the system works efficiently when we understand the process of fertilization and the development process of the embryo in detail for that you need to watch our next video [Music]
