Practice Question

Which of the following functions is not usually associated with the uterus?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

Fertilization

Rationale:

🢒 The uterus is associated with menstruation, where the endometrium is shed monthly, and gestation, where it supports the developing fetus after implantation.

🢒 It also plays a role in childbirth, where uterine muscle contractions expel the infant.

🢒 However, the process of fertilization does not occur in the uterus but in the fallopian tubes, where sperm meets the ovum.

🢒 For this reason, fertilization is not a function of the uterus, even though the uterus is critical in every stage after fertilization has taken place.
