Oogenesis is completed only after the

The uterus has a
cervix that opens into the vagina.
The endometrium is the inner layer of the
uterus; has a layer called the stratum functionalis that sloughs off during menstruation; has a layer called the stratum basalis that persists and gives riseto the stratum functionalis; and is highly vascular.
Cervical mucus can
physically prevent sperm from entering the uterus.
The vagina is the outlet for
menstrual flow.
