Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Female reproductive system consists of ovaries, oviduct, uterus, vagina and vulva. Oviduct is also known as Fallopian tube. It is made up of three parts: Infundibulum, ampulla and isthmus. Infundibulum is funnel-shaped part and extends as fimbriae which collect ova from ovary. Uterus is hystera or womb and is an inverted pear-shaped structure. Vulva consists of labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, mons pubis and vestibule. Ovaries are primary sex organs as these produce female gametes. These are also considered heterocrine glands as these secrete hormones like estrogen, progesterone which are steroid hormones.
