The reproductive system ensures the survival of the species. Other systems in the body, such as the endocrine and urinary systems, work continuously to maintain homeostasis for the survival of the individual. An individual may live a long, healthy, and happy life without producing offspring, but if the species is to continue, at least some individuals must produce offspring.

The uterus is a hollow organ in which the fetus develops. This cross-section is from the body of an uterus.
This specimen is from the early secretory phase of the menstrual cycle because the uterine glands are mostly straight and only slightly dilated.
