Because the uterine tubes have no direct contact with the uterus, __________ .

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The uterine tubes, also known as fallopian tubes, do not have direct contact with the ovaries, which means that when an egg is ovulated, it is released into the pelvic cavity. From there, it must be captured by the fimbriae, which are the waving, long, finger-like projections at the end of the uterine tube, to be pulled into the tube for potential fertilization. This anatomical arrangement also means that infectious agents can indeed enter the pelvic cavity and potentially cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), making all the components of choice B correct.
