• A type of blood vessel

• The outer layer of the skin

What is the role of hormones in reproduction?

• Hormones regulate various processes in reproduction, including the menstrual cycle, ovulation, and pregnancy.

• Hormones are responsible for the physical structure of reproductive organs.

What is the function of the fallopian tubes?

• Connect the ovaries with the uterus, allowing the passage of eggs and sperm.
