Use this female reproductive system labeling quiz to practice naming and placing each part - from ovaries and fallopian tubes to the uterus and cervix. Build speed and accuracy, spot any gaps before a lab or exam, and if you want a step-by-step review, open the detailed practice here .

Which structure stores and releases eggs in the female reproductive system?
Fallopian tube
Uterus
Vagina
Ovary
The ovary is the primary reproductive organ that produces, stores, and releases oocytes during the menstrual cycle. It also secretes estrogen and progesterone, which regulate the cycle. Fallopian tubes transport the ovulated egg, while the uterus and vagina serve different functions. .
What is the name of the muscular organ where a fertilized egg implants and develops?
Cervix
Ovary
Vagina
Uterus
The uterus is a thick-walled muscular organ designed to receive and support a fertilized egg during pregnancy. Its inner lining, the endometrium, undergoes cyclical changes and supports embryo implantation. The cervix is the lower uterine segment, while the vagina is the birth canal. .
Which structure transports the ovum from the ovary to the uterus?
Cervical canal
Broad ligament
Fallopian tube
Uterine ligament
The fallopian tubes (uterine tubes) capture the ovulated egg and provide the site for fertilization before transporting it to the uterus. Fimbriae at the tube's end help sweep the oocyte into the tube. Uterine and broad ligaments support the uterus structurally, not transport. .
Which part of the uterine lining is shed during menstruation?
Endometrium
Perimetrium
Myometrium
Serosa
The endometrium is the inner mucosal layer of the uterus that proliferates and becomes secretory under hormonal influence. If fertilization does not occur, this functional layer sloughs off during menstruation. The myometrium is the muscular layer, and the perimetrium is the outer serous layer. .
The narrow inferior portion of the uterus that opens into the vagina is called:
Cervix
Ostium
Isthmus
Fundus
The cervix is the lower, narrow neck-like portion of the uterus that connects to the vagina. It contains the external os through which menstrual blood passes and sperm enter. The fundus is the upper rounded part; the isthmus is the narrow region just above the cervix. .
Which external structure protects the vaginal opening?
Clitoris
Labia minora
Labia majora
Vestibule
The labia majora are the two larger outer folds of skin that enclose and protect the other external genital structures, including the vaginal opening. The labia minora are the smaller inner folds. The clitoris is a sensory organ, and the vestibule is the area between the labia. .
What is the function of the fimbriae at the end of the uterine tube?
To contract during labor
To sweep the ovulated egg into the tube
To secrete progesterone
To nourish the embryo
Fimbriae are fringe-like projections on the infundibulum of the uterine tube that move in a wave-like fashion to capture the oocyte released by the ovary. They do not secrete hormones or nourish the embryo. Their motility is essential for successful transport. .
Which layer of the uterine wall is primarily responsible for contractions during labor?
Myometrium
Tunica albuginea
Endometrium
Perimetrium
The myometrium is the thick middle layer of smooth muscle in the uterine wall that contracts powerfully during labor to expel the fetus. The endometrium is the inner lining, and the perimetrium is the outer serosal layer. Tunica albuginea is a fibrous covering in testes and ovaries, not the uterine wall. .
Which hormone is primarily responsible for stimulating the proliferative phase of the endometrium?
Progesterone
Prolactin
Estrogen
Luteinizing hormone
Estrogen, produced by ovarian follicles during the follicular phase, stimulates the regeneration and thickening of the endometrium in preparation for possible implantation. Progesterone acts later in the secretory phase. LH triggers ovulation, and prolactin is involved in lactation. .
Which ovarian cell layer secretes androgens that are then converted to estrogen in granulosa cells?
Theca externa
Theca interna
Corpus luteum
Germinal epithelium
The theca interna cells surrounding developing follicles produce androgens under LH stimulation. These androgens diffuse to granulosa cells, where they are aromatized into estrogen under FSH influence. Theca externa provides structure but no hormones. .
During the luteal phase, high levels of progesterone and estrogen exert what type of feedback on the hypothalamic - pituitary axis?
No feedback influence
Negative feedback to suppress GnRH, FSH, and LH
Feedforward stimulation of LH only
Positive feedback to increase GnRH release
High circulating progesterone and estrogen in the luteal phase inhibit GnRH release from the hypothalamus and reduce FSH and LH secretion from the anterior pituitary. This negative feedback mechanism prevents development of new follicles during the luteal phase. Positive feedback only occurs pre-ovulatory. .

Study Outcomes

  1. Identify Key Structures -

    Recognize and name the major components of the female reproductive system, including the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, and external genitalia.

  2. Label Reproductive Anatomy -

    Accurately place labels on a detailed diagram of the female reproductive system to reinforce spatial relationships between organs.

  3. Describe Organ Functions -

    Explain the primary roles of each labeled structure in processes such as ovulation, fertilization, and menstruation.

  4. Differentiate Internal vs. External Organs -

    Distinguish between internal reproductive organs and external genitalia to deepen understanding of system organization.

  5. Explain Structure-Function Relationships -

    Analyze how the anatomical features of each part contribute to overall reproductive health and function.

  6. Apply Anatomy Knowledge -

    Use your quiz results to inform further study in biology, healthcare, or related fields by applying core reproductive anatomy concepts.

Cheat Sheet

  1. Ovaries -

    When you label female reproductive system diagrams, start by pinpointing the almond-shaped ovaries in the pelvic cavity; they're about 3 cm long and sit on either side of the uterus. Remember "Only Fair Unicorns Crop Veggies" to recall Ovaries, Fallopian tubes, Uterus, Cervix, Vagina in order. The ovaries release oocytes and secrete estrogen and progesterone, driving the menstrual cycle (NIH).

  2. Fallopian Tubes -

    Divide each tube into infundibulum (with fimbriae), ampulla (fertilization zone), isthmus, and intramural segment; use "I Am Ingesting Irish Stew" to memorize. Fimbriae sweep the oocyte into the tube, while peristalsis and cilia guide it toward the uterus (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists). Knowing these subdivisions helps you ace any female reproductive anatomy quiz.

  3. Uterus -

    Identify the pear-shaped uterus and its three layers - perimetrium (outer), myometrium (muscular), and endometrium (inner); use the acronym "P.M.E." to recall them. The endometrium builds up and sheds during the menstrual cycle, which you can diagram with a simple 28-day timeline (e.g., days 1 - 14 follicular, day 14 ovulation, days 15 - 28 luteal). Mastering these layers boosts confidence in labeling the female reproductive system.

  4. Cervix -

    Locate the cervix as the narrow, cylindrical neck of the uterus with two openings: the internal and external os. Note the transformation zone (squamocolumnar junction) where sampling occurs in Pap smears - this landmark is vital for accurate diagrams (World Health Organization). Observing how cervical mucus changes during ovulation also deepens your anatomical insight.

  5. Vagina and Vestibular Glands -

    Label the vagina as the fibromuscular canal extending from the cervix to the vulva, and mark its transverse rugae which allow expansion. Don't forget Bartholin's glands (located at 5 and 7 o'clock) that secrete lubrication - imagine two "Bartho-ling lights" at the vestibule. Recognizing these features enhances your skills in any female reproductive diagram quiz.
