The correct option is D Cervix
The uterine tubes terminate in the uterus, a hollow muscular organ located in front of the rectum and behind the urinary bladder. It is like an inverted pear when viewed anteriorly and is pear size as well, during pregnancy it increases 3 - 6 times. Round ligament help the uterus tilted forward over the bladder. It is attached to the lateral wall of the pelvis by two broad ligaments. Uterus has three parts:
  • Fundus is the upper, dome shaped part.
  • Body is the tapering middle portion.
  • Cervix is terminal narrow portion.
The constricted region between the body and cervix is the isthmus. The interior of the cervix is the cervical canal, which opens into vagina. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
