Female sex organ antaomy

The hormones stimulate the growth of about 15 to 20 eggs in the ovaries, each in its own "shell," called a follicle. The arterial supply to the uterine tubes is from branches of the uterine and ovarian arteries, small vessels that are located within the mesosalpinx. So, for example, a person could be born with a penis, but identify as female. The ovaries are small, oval-shaped glands that are located on either side of the uterus. The cervix is the inferior portion of the uterus, separating the body of the uterus from the vagina. The vagina is a fibromuscular made up of fibrous and muscular tissue canal leading from the outside of the body to the cervix of the uterus or womb.
