The reproductive role of the female is far more complex than that of a male. Not only must she produce gametes, but her body must prepare to nurture a developing embryo for a period of approximately nine months. Ovaries, the female gonads, are the primary reproductive organs of a female, and like the male testes, ovaries serve a dual purpose: They produce the female gametes (ova) and sex hormones, the estrogens * and progesterone (pro-ges′tĕ-rōn). The accessory ducts (uterine tubes, uterus, and vagina) transport or otherwise serve the needs of the reproductive cells and a developing fetus.
If one breaks down endometriosis, one will find that it means an abnormal condition of the lining inside a uterus. Specifically, the tissue that is inside the uterus will form on an external structure. This has unpleasant consequences when a tissue made for a certain region of the body is acting elsewhere. This condition will mainly affect women and young ladies during their most reproductive years and can affect them both physically and mentally (Reich et al., 2016). Even though most cases are, it is a myth that endometriosis occurs exclusively in women over twenty years of age. This disease can begin in a body as soon as the female obtains her first menstrual cycle and will unfortunately persist over a lifetime in the body unless an act of

The fallopian tubes are located and are either blocked with a ring, clip, or are burned (cauterized).
Toxins and waste circulate from the embryo to the maternal blood tract, where she gets rid of them. The placenta forms fully by ten weeks of embryo development. The placenta provides oxygen and nutrients to the growing baby and removes waste products as well. It connects to the uterine wall and links the fetus and the mother for the rest of the pregnancy. The placenta nourishes and maintains the fetus through the umbilical cord. The umbilical cord forms around the blood vessels that the allantois and yolk sac form. The yolk sac forms blood cells and is a membrane that is connected to the embryo through a tube. The developmental structure allantois, which is connected to the embryo and provides blood vessels as well. Eventually the yolk sac shrinks and the amniotic sac swells with fluid at the end of the embryonic period. The amniotic fluid supports the embryo and maintains a temperature inside the uterus. It contains cells and fetal urine. Many systems of the pregnancy process can be examined for medical applications. Chorionic villi and amniotic fluid can be sampled during pregnancy to test for fetal, biochemical, and gene abnormalities. When samples are taken from chorionic villi, chromosomes from cells, after 10
Due to modern medicine, there are many ways that pregnant women can now see how their fetus is growing inside them. The woman’s egg travels down the fallopian tube entering the uterus. It is fertilized by the sperm and its home for the next nine months. There is a long process before the baby arrives into the mother's arms. This is the beginning of conception and the development of the baby.

Endometriosis- This condition is only present in women. It occurs when endometrial tissue (the lining of the uterine which sheds each period), grows on the outside of the uterus and is attached to reproductive or abdominal organs. This compromises normal functioning of the fallopian tubes through blockage. Endometrial cells also occasionally secrete substances that may interfere with sperm and egg interaction therefore preventing fertilization.
