The vagina is the first opening we get to from the outside. If you think of the vagina as a hallway, it leads to an opening, the cervix. The cervix is where we get the Pap Smear from. And it's an opening to a muscular organ, the uterus. The uterus is a muscle, really. The cervix leads into a smaller opening in the endocervical canal, and then inside of the uterus. The lining of the uterus sheds every month, and that's where the period comes from, and also when a woman is pregnant that's where the baby grows. From the uterus there are two tubes that extend out, those are fallopian tubes that serve to create a communication between the sperm and the egg. And the ovaries are on the two sides, one on each side, and they perform a vital function of the hormonal reproduction.
