The oviducts (fallopian tubes), uterus and vagina constitute the female accessory ducts. Each fallopian tube is about 10-12 cm long and extends from the periphery of each ovary to the uterus, the part closer to the ovary is the funnel-shaped infundibulum. The edges of the infundibulum possess finger-like projections called fimbriae, which help in collection of the ovum after ovulation. The infundibulum leads to a wider
NTA tests the anatomical regions of the fallopian tube, specifically the infundibulum (funnel-shaped part near the ovary with fimbriae for ovum collection), ampulla (wider middle section), and isthmus (narrow part joining uterus). Students commonly confuse these parts or mistakenly think the fallopian tube has a 'fundus' like the uterus does—it doesn't. The key is remembering fimbriae are finger-like projections on the infundibulum's edges that actively collect the ovum after ovulation. To score: memorize the three regions in order (infundibulum→ampulla→isthmus), recall the fimbriae's role, and avoid mixing up fallopian tube terminology with uterine parts.
