Complete Guide to Female Anatomy: Organs, Hormones, and Differences

Female anatomy differs from male anatomy in many different respects. Generally speaking, girls and women are smaller, overall, than boys and men, and have less dense bones, more fat tissue, and less muscle tissue.

They also have reproductive organs that are different in appearance and function from male reproductive organs, and their breasts have internal structures that enable breastfeeding an infant, something the male anatomy lacks.

In other respects, female anatomy is very similar to male anatomy: Female gross anatomy — the parts visible to the naked eye — and internal organs, with the exception of reproductive organs, look more or less the same and are located in the same areas of the body as in the male human body.
