Question

The figure given depicts a diagrammatic sectional view of the human female reproductive system. Which set of three parts have been correctly identified.

A. b-endometrium, c-infundibulum, d-fimbriae
B. c-infundibulum, d-fimbriae, e-cervix
C. d-oviducal funnel, e-uterus, f-cervix
D. a-perimetrium, b-myometrium, c-fallopian tube

Answer 1

Hint: The above diagram is the female reproductive system which plays an important role in production of ovum and also in implantation of zygote. On either side of the uterus are the ovaries where ovulation occurs,which is the release of egg into the fallopian tube from the ovary. The ovary is held in the position with the help of finger-like projections. Ovarian tube is also known as fallopian tube.

Complete answer:
In the hint part, I have given a rough idea about ovaries. Now, let us explore its various parts. Ovary is held in its place with the help of fimbriae which pushes the oocyte into the fallopian tube which further transports it to the uterus. Infundibulum is the place where the fimbriae is attached. Uterus is lined by three layers namely the perimetrium which is the outer layer, myometrium is the thick middle layer and endometrium is the inner lining of the uterus. The cervix is the part that connects vagina with the uterus. So, according to the above description, a is endometrium, b is myometrium, c is Infundibulum, d is fimbriae, e is cervix and f constitutes the opening of vagina.

So the correct answer is option B.

Note:
In the uterus, the myometrium is said to be exhibiting rhythmic contractions during pregnancy and endometrium is the thick lining which prepares itself for implantation if the egg is fertilized. If there is no fertilization, it sheds off and renews every month. The so-called womb during pregnancy is the uterus that is located in between the rectum and bladder. Its main function is to nourish the fertilized egg.
