Female accessory ducts include oviducts, uterus and vagina → Females have two fallopian (uterine) tubes, or oviducts, that extend laterally from the uterus. They provide a route for sperm to reach an ovum and transport secondary oocytes and fertilised ova from the ovaries to the uterus. → Uterus (womb) serves as part of the pathway for sperm deposited in the vagina to reach the uterine tubes. It is also the site of implantation of a fertilised ovum, development of the foetus during pregnancy, and labour. → The vagina (sheath) extends from the exterior of the body to the uterine cervix. It is the receptacle for the penis during sexual intercourse, the outlet for menstrual flow and the passageway for childbirth.
