Female Reproductive Organs

Just posterior to the kidneys, find the conspicuous convoluted duct; this is the horn of the uterus. The uterine horn narrows to form the small, highly convoluted Fallopian or uterine tube. Near the ovary (which is more clearly visible in the next image), the uterine tube expands into a hood-like infundibulum, which partially surrounds the ovary. The opening of the infundibulum into the abdominal cavity is the ostium. As eggs break out of the ovary into the abdominal cavity they are carried into the ostium by ciliary currents.

Use the next image, which views the pelvic cavity from the caudal end, to locate the ovaries. 

In the next image, the pelvic cavity has been cut open to allow you to see the cervix. Follow the uterine horns, to see that they unite posteriorly to form the body of the uterus. The uterus leads into the vagina at the cervix. Locate the urethra, which lies ventral to the vagina. Notice that the vagina and the urethra unite to form a common passage, the urogenital canal or vestibule, which leads to the body surface. The opening of the vestibule to the surface, together with the surrounding skin folds, the labia, is called the vulva.
