Summary for the physiology and anatomy of the female genitals. 

The female reproductive system consists of the mammary glands and genitals. The genitals consist of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina and vulva.
During ovulation, which is also called ovulation, a bladder bursts and the egg is captured by the fallopian tube.
The uterus regularly prepares to receive a fertilized egg. In this situation, the muscles adapt to the growth of the fetus. During childbirth, the uterus works with regular contractions so that the baby can be born.


MENSTRUATION
The wall of the vagina consists of a mucous membrane with folds and has a musculature that allows the vagina to dilate during childbirth and stimulate the penis during intercourse. The vagina is self-cleaning.


SEXUAL INTERCOURSE
The vulva consists of the labia majora and minora, the clitoris and the mouth of the vagina. On both sides of the mouth of the vagina are glands that produce secretions, which facilitate the insertion of the penis during intercourse.
The clitoris and the area around the mouth of the vagina are covered with tissue similar to the swelling bodies of the penis. There is increased blood flow during an erection. As with men, women's erections are triggered by loving and erotic thoughts. Dreams, sight, hearing and smell are also involved. However, it often takes longer for a woman to get an erection.
In addition, the glands at the vaginal orifice are stimulated to produce mucus, which acts as a lubricant during intercourse.
The female orgasm consists of rhythmic contractions of the musculature of the genitals and is associated with feelings of pleasure. The woman has no refractory period and can achieve new orgasms with continued stimulation.
Sperm can live up to 5 days in a woman's genitals, while the egg is only functional for 12-24 hours after ovulation.
