Exam answer

The FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM.

Explanation

Identify it from the shape: a pear-shaped uterus with a fallopian tube curving out on each side, each ending in a funnel near an ovary, and the vagina leading down from the cervix. Nothing else in the syllabus has that outline.

The organs and their jobs: OVARY (produces ova and the female sex hormones), FALLOPIAN TUBE (carries the ovum; the site of FERTILISATION), UTERUS (where the embryo is IMPLANTED and develops), CERVIX (the neck of the uterus), VAGINA (the birth canal).
