    The female reproductive system is more concerned with passing on alleles and the future of the human species than the individual's survival.

  • 2

    The ground control of the female reproductive anatomy, where the orders are given, are the ovaries, which produce and release female gametes and sex hormones like estrogen and progesterone.

    The menstrual cycle is what happens in the uterus to prepare for a fertilized egg, while the ovarian cycle is all about the maturation of the follicle and egg, and it’s actually what drives the menstrual cycle.
