14.3. The female reproductive system 5 of 5

Question 5

Which function of the female reproductive system has no counterpart in the male one?

Providing space for the foetus to develop. That is what the thick-walled uterus is for, and it is why so much of the rest of this chapter is about the state of the uterine wall.

Both systems make a gamete, both make hormones, and both move gametes along a tube — so the other three are shared. Ovary and testis are each both a gamete producer and an endocrine gland; only the uterus stands alone.
