Question

is the part of the oviduct which is at the closest proximity to the ovary.

• A. Ampulla
• B. Isthmus
• C. Cortex
• D. Infundibulum

Answer 1

The correct option is D Infundibulum

The fallopian tubes, also known as uterine tubes transport ova from the ovary to the uterus. A uterine tube has three parts. The first segment, closest to the uterus, is called the isthmus. The second segment is the ampulla and is the most common site for fertilization. The final segment, located farthest from the uterus, is the infundibulum. It is also closest to the ovary. The infundibulum gives rise to the fimbriae, fingerlike projections that are responsible for picking up the egg released by the ovary.
