FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM


The female reproductive system is more complex than that of the male reproductive system. In addition to producing female sex cells, known as ova (eggs), the female body also protects and nurtures a developing baby for about nine months while it grows within the woman’s uterus (womb). A woman’s breasts can provide nourishment for newborns.

BREAST

During pregnancy, breast size increases as milk-producing glands known as lobules develop in preparation for breast-feeding. Breast milk can provide all the nourishment a newborn needs. As a newborn breast-feeds, the sucking action stimulates the release of oxytocin, a hormone that promotes milk flow. For more details, please download!
