Exam answer
5 — FALLOPIAN TUBE (oviduct) 6 — CERVIX
Explanation
Identify each by POSITION: the fallopian tube is the narrow tube curving outward from the upper corner of the uterus towards the ovary, and the cervix is the narrow neck at the LOWER end of the uterus, opening into the vagina.
THE CERVIX is worth remembering as the odd term in the 2026 paper’s odd-one-out question, where it appeared among heart structures.
It dilates greatly during childbirth to allow the baby to pass from the uterus into the vagina.
