Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Accessory ducts in the female reproductive system include the Fallopian tubes, cervix, and vagina, which help transport gametes and support fertilization. The uterus, however, serves as the site for embryo implantation and fetal development rather than acting as an accessory duct.

Answer 2

The female external genitalia, collectively known as the vulva, include the mons pubis, hymen, clitoris, and labia. Mammary ducts are part of the mammary glands and are associated with lactation, not the external genitalia. The cervix is an internal structure connecting the uterus to the vagina.

Answer 3

During coitus, sperm is deposited in the vagina and travels through the cervix, uterus, and into the Fallopian tubes. The ovary is not directly involved in this pathway, as it is the site of egg release, not sperm transport.

Answer 4

Progesterone is primarily secreted by the corpus luteum after ovulation. During the follicular phase (before ovulation), estrogen is the predominant hormone, while LH and FSH levels peak just before ovulation to stimulate follicle rupture.

Answer 5

The correct matches are as follows: Proliferative phase (5th–13th days), Menstrual phase (1st–5th days), Secretory phase (15th–28th days), and Ovulatory phase (14th day). These phases correspond to different hormonal and structural changes in the menstrual cycle.
