B) The female gonads secrete progesterone, estrogen, and oxytocin.
C) Connective tissue makes up the walls of the ovaries, uterus, and vagi na – whereas epithelial tissue lines the inner sides of the uterus, Fallopian tubes, and vagina.
D) Microbial growth is deterred by the non-acidic environment of the vagi na.
