4 Obstetrics and Gynecology
Female reproductive system is vital to continuation of human race Ovaries produce egg cells called ova Fertilization occurs in the fallopian tubes Embryo develops in the uterus During birth, baby passes through vagina Breasts secrete milk to nourish newborn

5 Obstetrics and Gynecology
