What are the components of the female internal genitalia and their functions?

  • A. Fallopian tubes: transport eggs from the ovaries to the uterus
  • B. Vagina: serves as the birth canal and connects the uterus to the external environment
  • C. Ovaries: produce eggs and hormones
  • D. Cervix: serves as the lower part of the uterus connecting it to the vagina
Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. The ovaries are responsible for producing eggs (ova) and hormones (estrogen and progesterone). They are essential for reproduction, including the release of eggs for fertilization and for regulating the menstrual cycle. The fallopian tubes, as mentioned in choice A, transport eggs from the ovaries to the uterus for potential fertilization. The vagina, described in choice B, serves as the birth canal and also connects the uterus to the external environment. The cervix, as stated in choice D, is the lower part of the uterus that connects it to the vagina and also plays a role in protecting the uterus from infections and serving as a passage for menstrual flow.
