Let's solve this step by step.
We are given a diagram of the
female reproductive system and asked to label it using the following words:
- ovary
- fallopian tube
- vagina
- uterus
- cervix
Now, let’s identify each part based on the anatomy:
1.
Ovary: These are the small, oval-shaped structures located on either side of the uterus. They produce eggs (ova) and hormones like estrogen and progesterone. In the diagram, there are two round structures at the ends of the tubes — these are the
ovaries.
2.
Fallopian Tube: These are the narrow tubes that connect the ovaries to the uterus. They transport the egg from the ovary to the uterus. In the diagram, the curved tubes extending from the ovaries to the uterus are the
fallopian tubes.
3.
Uterus: This is the large, pear-shaped organ in the center where a fertilized egg implants and develops into a fetus. The main body of the organ shown in the middle is the
uterus.
4.
Cervix: This is the lower, narrow part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. It's often referred to as the "neck" of the uterus. In the diagram, the narrow section below the uterus leading into the vagina is the
cervix.
5.
Vagina: This is the muscular canal that extends from the cervix to the outside of the body. It's the birth canal and also the passage for menstrual blood. The bottommost structure in the diagram is the
vagina.

Now, match the labels to the blanks in the diagram:
Looking at the image:
- The
top blank (pointing to the main central organ) →
uterus
- The
blank on the right side, pointing to the tube-like structure connecting ovary to uterus →
fallopian tube
- The
blank on the left, pointing to the round structure at the end of the tube →
ovary
- The
blank near the bottom, pointing to the narrow neck of the uterus →
cervix
- The
bottom blank, pointing to the canal leading outward →
vagina
---
Final Answer:
- Top blank (main organ):
uterus
- Right side (tube):
fallopian tube
- Left side (round structure):
ovary
- Bottom (narrow neck):
cervix
- Bottom (canal):
vagina
✔ So, correctly labeled:
1. Uterus – top
2. Fallopian tube – right side
3. Ovary – left side
4. Cervix – just below uterus
5. Vagina – lowest part
