The ovaries are connected to the fallopian tube where the egg then travels to the uterus.
The traveling process takes about one day and there it waits to be fertilized. Let me explain the body
Before ovulation the temperature slowly decreases and reaches a high point at ovulation then starts to decrease again.…
Are you a parent of a developing young girl? Have you noticed the rapid physical changes they’re going through? If so, you are not alone. Countless parents are experiencing this, and so is Dave Barry. He recently explained this topic in his editorial, “Where Did My Little Girl Go?” and for me, I completely understand his point of view. It seems as though the duration of puberty for girls is instantaneous.…

The ovum cell is one of the most important cells in all living organisms. Most ova are unicellular because they are only one cell at first but becomes multi cellular once fertilized by the sperm and begin dividing. However, in other organisms, such as protists, they can start off as multi cellular as well. The ova is the female gamete produced by the female reproductive system and joins together with the sperm, the male gamete, during fertilization to form the embryo. Gametes are haploids which is the only type of cell that contains only one set of chromosomes. Ova are produced by many living organisms, such as animals, protists, fungi, and flowering plants and ferns. In animals, they are produced…
Puberty can indeed be a difficult time for adolescents. Many changes occur during puberty that adolescents are not used to, and these changes can confuse them. Puberty is the sexual maturation that occurs in adolescents, and encompasses many physical and psychological changes as a result in the rise of hormone levels. Some of these changes include the growth of pubic hair, changes in the voice, increased breast growth, spurts in height, development of facial hair, and the beginning of a menstrual cycle.…
In Liza Neal’s words “Having your period makes you apart of the club. It may not be the club you wanted to join, but hey, a club is a club.” Menstruation is a significant stage of puberty. Though it may be considered inconvenient and embarrassing, it is one of the various physical signs that a girl is taking on into becoming a woman. It can be confusing, just like the other changes that occur with puberty. There are some girls that can’t wait to start their periods. However, others may feel intimidated or anxious. In-fact, many girls don’t have complete knowledge of the woman’s reproductive system or what actually happens during the menstrual cycle. As a result, this can make the process seem even more mysterious. At 11 years old, I recall…
Females go through puberty at a younger age than boys. Generally, girls will go through puberty two years before boys. This is the reason sometimes girls are taller than boys at a young age (Makarowski). Estrogen is a hormone that is released in the female body when transitioning into adulthood (Makarowski). Females produce more estrogen than males. Once the follicle-stimulating hormone reaches the ovaries, it causes the ovaries to grow in size. Estrogen is now being produced and affecting the whole body. (Makarowski) As the ovaries enlarge the amount of estrogen will increase. Girls that are going through puberty will have physical changes to their bodies. Estrogen will cause the breast and nipples to increase size, along with milk producing…
In women the external organs in the reproductive system are the clitoris, labia minora and Bartholin's glands. The internal organs are the vagina and the uterus. The uterus acts as the replacement for semen. Also, the ovaries produce the female’s ova (eggs). The vagina is attached to the uterus through the cervix, while the fallopian tubes connect the uterus to the ovaries. In response…
This is the period during which the sexual organs develop and the individual becomes capable of having children. Below are the signs of puberty in both males and females:…
The female reproductive system is a well-coordinated group of organs that exist for the sole purpose of preparing for and maintaining a normal pregnancy. Under usual circumstances for women in the child-bearing years, the body goes through a series of monthly hormonal changes that cause an egg follicle to develop in the ovary, and the uterine lining to prepare for a potential pregnancy. If pregnancy doesn’t occur, the lining and egg are removed through menses, or a woman’s period. If pregnancy does occur, the reproductive system is responsible for maintaining the pregnancy throughout the nine months.…

a time when they begin to discover who they are, they are becoming more independent, they are establishing friendships, and their bodies start developing. For many, entering into puberty can be a very emotional, stressful, confusing, and frightening time. Some make the change from childhood into adolescence with only a few minor problems, others however, may have a more difficult time handling the pressures and some may develop eating disorders as a way to cope. Some may enter into puberty early and be subjected to teasing by their…
| OK, so it’s a funny word, but what is puberty anyway? Dictionary Meaning: the period during which adolescents reach maturity and become capable of reproduction. Human beings are complex things. When you’re at school, you’re expected to get your homework handed in on time and go through puberty too. Compared to us, caterpillars have it easy. They spin a cocoon around themselves and then, bingo! A few weeks later they emerge as butterflies. Or maybe a moth. Whereas kids have to go from being kids to adults and learn about the mysterious ‘facts of life’ on that journey. Your body changes, but you don’t get to stay in a cocoon while it’s happening.…
