Homeostasis is a property of an organism or system that allows its to maintain the controlled parameters within normal ranges. Henry Barbour contributed to the understanding of this concept by his delineation of the reactions of the temperature of the body. This is in line with the same concept that was initially proposed by Claude Bernard.
The ovaries produce the egg cells, called the ova or oocytes. The oocytes are then transported to the fallopian tube where fertilization by a sperm may occur. The fertilized egg then moves to the uterus, where the uterine lining has thickened in response to the normal hormones of the reproductive cycle.
