the eggs are formed in the ovary a female child is born with all of the cells that will make her eggs throughout life and the uterus some people like to call it the womb, is where the fetus grows and the placenta which is formed during the pregnancy is connected to the umbilical cord which is attached to the baby this is where the nutrients from the mother goes so the baby will be fed.

Pituary: is divided in 2 glands: anterior (front) and posterior (back) The front pituary makes it's own hormones (by stimulation/inhibition from the hypothalamus). it makes: -prolactin (stimulates breasts to produce milk); -ACTH (adrenocorticotroph hormone): which stimulates the adrenal glands to produce glucocorticoids; -TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone): which stimulates the thyroid gland to produce T4 and T3; -GH (growth hormone): which has a whole lot of functions, mostly enhancing growth; -LH(Luitenizing hormone) and FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) which both stimulate the gonads (ovary/testes) to make estrogens and androgens; The posterior pituary gland doesn't make hormones, but acts as a storage organ. The hypothalamus makes hormones, that travel through neurons (axons to be precise) and those hormones are stored here. There are 2 hormones that are stored here: -vasopressine/ADH (antidiuretic hormone): makes the kidneys retain water (instead of letting it slip into the urine); -oxytocin (enhances breastgrowth/milk production and stimulates uterus when pregnant) Thyroid gland: -Produces T4/T3 (T3 being the most active) which both stimulate the body's metabolic rate Adrenal gland: Is made up of a cortex (outer layer) and a medulla (inner layer): the outer layer produces: -glucocorticoids: they do a whole lot in the body (making glucose, breaking apart (catabolise) protein, storing fat etc.etc); -mineralocorticoids (aldosteron): are not under pituary control, but are controlled by angiotensine II (and are meant to retain salt and water in the kidneys) -androgens: same function as the testicular form, only weaker. Pancreas: consists of an endocrine and exocrine part. the endocrine part produces insulin and glucagon (insuline takes sugar/glucose out of the blood and stores it into the liver and muscles, glucagon takes muscles and makes glucose out of it and takes glycogen out of the liver and makes it in to glucose to level glucose in the blood) the exocrine part secretes it's hormones in the intestines. there are hormones that break apart protein/fat/carbohydrates, so that the body can take up the smaller pieces; ovary/testes: make androgens and estrogens, both enhancing pretty much everything that makes a man a man and a woman a woman;) hope this helps you

The placenta nourishes the fetus, as it connects both maternal and fetal blood supply.
and the ovary produces the ovum, (eggs), they are also responsible for the release of hormones needed for the continuation of pregnancy, ie. progesterone and oestrogen. hope it helps
