Question

The part of fallopian tube closest to the ovary is

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

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Infundibulum

• The fallopian tube/oviduct/uterine tube is the muscular structure that connects the uterus with the ovary. Each fallopian tube consists of the following parts: isthmus, ampulla, and infundibulum.
• The narrow, thick-walled part of the uterine tube, which is present next to the uterine part is called the isthmus while the thin-walled, dilated, and largest part of the uterine tube is the ampulla, which is connected to the isthmus at one end and the infundibulum to another end.
• The funnel-shaped lateral end of the uterine tube is the infundibulum, which is connected to an outer pole of the ovary.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
