Voir détail-reproductive tract
Explanation:
Voies est traduit par:
"Duct" pour les voies biliaires
"Passage" pour voies lacrymales
"tract" pour la plupart des autres voies anatomiques.

"pathway" pour une activation métabolique ou pour une réaction

et utilisez "tract" au singulier et non au pluriel, tract signifiant un ensemble d'organes se rapportant à une fonction.

"Reproductive Tract" is what I would use for the French "voies obstétrico-gynécologiques"

Tracts


Explanation:
Si j'en crois le "Oxford" (Anat.)
(qui parle ici de "voies respiratoires" ce qui n'est pas situé du même côté...)

"Oxford" indique aussi la locution "passage" (Anat.) mais sans préciser qu'il s'agit de gynécologie.
