Question

The given figure is of the human female reproductive system. Identity the parts labelled as A, B, C and D and select the select option.

A) A-Oviduct, B-Uterus, C-Ovarian ligament, D-Ovary
B) A-Cervix, B-Uterus, C-Ovary, D-Tumour
C) A-Uterus, B-Uterine cavity, C-Oviducal funnel, D-Ovary
D) A-Cervix, B-Uterine cavity, C-Fallopian tube, D-Ovary

Answer 1

Hint: The female reproductive system is a complex structure in which fertilisation of the female egg and sperm takes place. In the female body, the embryo implants itself in the uterus and stays for the whole gestation until childbirth.

Complete answer:
To answer this question, we must know the parts of the female reproductive system.
i) Vagina-It is the internal part of the reproductive system through which the male penis is inserted during copulation and also serves as a canal during the child birth.
ii) Cervix- It is an opening which separates the internal and external structure. The cervix expands at the time of the child's birth so that the fetus can come out. It is represented by “A” in the given diagram.
iii) The uterus serves as an important part of the reproductive system. The cavity present inside the sac like uterus is called the uterine cavity (represented as B). The embryo implants at the uterus and the growing fetus stays in the uterus for the entire gestation.
iv) The fallopian tube is another important part of the reproductive system in which fertilisation takes place. It connects the ovary and the uterus. It is represented by “C” in the given diagram.
v) The pair of ovaries are present in the reproductive system which produces one egg every month. This egg further fertilises with the sperm to produce an embryo. It is represented by part D.

Thus the correct answer is option ‘D’.

Note: Tumour is the abnormal growth of the tissue. It can be cancerous as well. A tumour can occur in the uterus or ovary or any other part of the reproductive system. The removal of tumour through surgery is the best possible way to prevent the spread of uncontrolled cell division.
