The anatomy of the female reproductive tract includes the [[Female Reproductive Tract -The Vagina/Vestibule - Anatomy & Physiology|the external genitalia and vagina]], [[Female Reproductive Tract -The Cervix - Anatomy & Physiology|the cervix]], [[Female Reproductive Tract -The Uterus - Anatomy & Physiology|the uterus]], [[Female Reproductive Tract -The Oviduct - Anatomy & Physiology|the oviduct]] and [[Female Reproductive Tract -The Ovary - Anatomy & Physiology|the ovary]].

Female animals regularly enter a phase where they are sexually active and receptive to males; this is collectively known as the [[Female Reproductive Tract -Oestrous Cycle - Anatomy & Physiology|oestrous cycle]]. Some animals are able to reproduce all year round, but many have an anoestrus phase which requires a [[Female Reproductive Tract -Seasonality of Reproduction - Anatomy & Physiology|seasonal response]] for cycling to begin. In some species [[Reproductive Behaviour - Oestrus Behaviour - Anatomy & Physiology|detection of seasonal cycling]] can be crucial to productivity. Female animals have various [[Reproductive Behaviour - Overview of Reproductive Behaviour - Anatomy & Physiology|behavioural]] and chemical signals which increase their [[Reproductive Behaviour - Attractivity Behaviour - Anatomy & Physiology|attractiveness]] to males and others which signal their [[Reproductive Behaviour - Proceptivity Behaviour - Anatomy & Physiology|acceptance]] of attention from the male. Further cues indicate that the female is [[Reproductive Behaviour - Receptivity Behaviour - Anatomy & Physiology|receptive]] to mating. Other reproductive female behaviours include [[Reproductive Behaviour - Maternal Behaviour - Anatomy & Physiology|maternal]] and  [[Reproductive Behaviour - Nursing Behaviour - Anatomy & Physiology|nursing]] behaviours.
