You have two ovaries that are suspended by ligaments from the pelvic girdle. They are halfway covered by uterine tubes. The uterus contains three layers. First is the outer most layer of connective tissue called the perimetrium, second layer is a smooth muscle calledthe myometrium, lastly you have the most inner layer consisting of epithelial called the endometrium. The endometrium consists of stratum functionale, which becomes thicker and then later sheds at menstruation.

The vagina and urethra are both covered by longitudinal folds: the inner one is called the labia minora and the outer is called the labia majora. The ovaries consists of about 6-7 billion oogonia. As they make their way through apoptosis most of them die, but the ones that make it though are then called primary oocytes. Oogenesis stops at menopause. In response to FSH some oocytes will get larger as will the follicles which will then divide producing lots of layers of granulosa cells that will cover the oocyte and fill the follicle. If any primary follicles start to grow some more they are called the secondary follicles because they will have by then developed fluid filled cavities. One of these will go on to grow along with a fusion of its own vesicles to make a single fluid filled cavity. By this stage they are called the mature follicle. As the follicle developes it goes through its first meiotic division. The second meiotic division is only achieved if the oocyte was fertilized. Usually around the 10-14th day after the first day of menstruation the one follicle that has continued to grow is called the graafian follicle. Later the graafian makes a bulge on the surface of the ovary. With the right hormonal stimulation it will brake open starting the process of ovulation. The corpus luteum secretes both the estradiol and progesterone hormones.
