Solution
The oviducts or the tubular structure connecting an ovary to the uterus, are also called fallopian tubes or uterine tubes. They act as the passageway between the ovaries and the uterus.
The uterus is a hollow reproductive organ that houses the embryo during embryo development. It is divided into 4 parts- fundus, cornua, body and cervix.
The upper corners of the uterus are referred to as cornua. The intramural part of the oviducts open here.
The fundus is the upper dome-shaped part of the uterus. It lies above the opening of the oviducts into the uterus.
The body forms the main part of the uterus. It narrows down into the cervix.
The uterus opens into the vagina through the cervix. The cervix communicates with the body above and the vagina below.
