• It is the site where the embryo implants.

• It produces hormones for reproduction.

• It stores sperm until fertilization.

Where does fertilization of the ovum by sperm typically occur in the female reproductive system?

• Uterus

• Cervix

• Oviduct

• Vagina

Why is the oviduct considered important in the process of fertilization?

• It produces the ovum.

• It is the site where sperm fuses with the ovum.

What is the definition of the ovary in the female reproductive system?

• Male sex organ

• Female sex organ

• Digestive organ

• Excretory organ

The production of both ova and female sex hormones by the ovary is important for reproduction because:

• Ova are needed for fertilization, and hormones regulate the reproductive cycle.

• Ova are needed for digestion, and hormones help in breathing.

• Ova are needed for excretion, and hormones help in urination.

• Ova are needed for movement, and hormones help in muscle contraction.

The significance of the uterine lining in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy is that:

• It provides nutrients for the ovum

• It is responsible for hormone production only

• It breaks down and is shed if fertilisation does not occur, and supports embryo attachment and development if pregnancy occurs

• It helps in the movement of the ovum to the fallopian tube

What is the function of the cervix in the female reproductive system?

• It produces eggs for fertilization.

• It is the opening of the uterus and connects the uterus to the vagina.
