The fallopian tubes are two tubes on each side of the uterus that carry the ovum from the ovaries to the uterus. There are three other terms for these tubes other than “fallopian.” Which of the following terms does NOT refer to the fallopian tubes?
  1. Oviducts
  2. Uterine Tubes
  3. Salpinges
  4. Cervix Uteri
Explanation
Answer: D - The term “Cervix Uteri” does not refer to a fallopian tube. The cervix uteri is the neck of the uterus, located below the uterus. This is where the cervix is located. The cervix is the organ that tapers down from the corpus uteri (uterus) to connect to the vagina. The terms “oviducts,” “uterine tubes,” and “salpinges,” are all additional terms used to describe the fallopian tubes.
