  • Primary sex organ: Ovary
  • Secondary sex organs: pair of oviducts (fallopian tubes), uterus, cervix, vagina & mammary glands.
  • External genitalia: vulva

Explanation:

  • There is a pair of fallopian tubes arising from each side of the uterus.
  • These are about 10-12 cm in length. The opening of the fallopian tube is funnel-shaped called the infundibulum.
  • The infundibulum has several finger-like projections called fimbriae, they move closer to the ovaries during ovulation to collect the released ovum.
  •  The infundibulum leads to a wider part of the fallopian tube called the ampulla.
  • The infundibulum extends to the last part of the oviduct called the Isthmus. It has a narrow lumen that joins the uterus.

  • Cervix: The cervix is the lower part of the Uterus. The Cervix forms a canal that opens into the vagina, which leads to the outside of the body.
