Detailed explanation-1: -In the human reproductive process, two kinds of sex cells, or gametes (GAH-meetz), are involved. The male gamete, or sperm, and the female gamete, the egg or ovum, meet in the female’s reproductive system. When sperm fertilizes (meets) an egg, this fertilized egg is called a zygote (ZYE-goat).

Detailed explanation-2: -The ovaries contain the female gamete cell, called the oocyte. In non medical terms, the oocyte is called the “egg”. The ovaries are filled with follicles. Follicles are fluid-filled structures in which the oocyte (also called egg) grows to maturity.

Detailed explanation-3: -The vagina, vulva and clitoris The vulva is visible from outside the body. It forms the skin flaps around the entrance to the vagina. The outer flaps are called the labia majora and the inner flaps are called the labia minora. The clitoris sits at the top of the labia minora and is very sensitive to touch.
