Which of the Following Does Not Describe an Accessory Structure

Question

Which of the following does not describe an accessory structure of the female reproductive system?
A) ducts that extend from near the ovary to the exterior
B) external genitals
C) produce ova
D) All of the above describe accessory structures of the female reproductive system.

Accepted Answer

Accessory structures refer to anatomical structures that support the function of the reproductive system but do not directly produce gametes. Option A and B are correct because they describe the fallopian tubes and external genitalia respectively, while option C is incorrect because it refers to the ovaries, which are the primary reproductive organs that produce ova. Therefore, only option C does not describe an accessory structure of the female reproductive system.
