  10. The Female Reproductive System Three Functions of the Female Reproductive System Store egg cells Create offspring Give birth

  11. The Female Reproductive System New life is formed through the process of fertilization. fertilization When a male’s sperm cell joins with a female egg Once fertilized, the egg travels from the fallopian tube to the uterus where it attaches to the wall of the uterus and begins to grow.
