To solve the question regarding the incorrect statement about the female reproductive system, we will analyze each option provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Female Reproductive System**: - The female reproductive system consists of primary sex organs (ovaries) and accessory ducts (oviducts, uterus, and vagina). - Ovaries produce female gametes (eggs) and hormones. **Hint**: Remember the distinction between primary and accessory reproductive organs. 2. **Evaluating the Statements**: - **Statement 1**: "The oviducts (fallopian tubes) are approximately 10 to 15 cm in length and are used for conduction of the female gamete." - This statement is **correct**. The oviducts do transport the female gamete and are indeed around this length. **Hint**: The oviducts play a crucial role in gamete transport. 3. **Analyzing Statement 2**: - "The narrowest part of the oviduct is the ampulla." - This statement is **incorrect**. The ampulla is actually the widest part of the oviduct and is the site of fertilization. **Hint**: Remember that the term "ampulla" refers to the widest part in biological contexts. 4. **Checking Statement 3**: - "The uterus opens into the vagina through a narrow cervix." - This statement is **correct**. The cervix is indeed narrow and connects the uterus to the vagina. **Hint**: The cervix serves as a passage between the uterus and vagina. 5. **Reviewing Statement 4**: - "Mons pubis is the cushion of fatty tissue covered by skin and pubic hair." - This statement is also **correct**. The mons pubis is a fatty tissue area covered by skin and pubic hair. **Hint**: The mons pubis is part of the external female genitalia. 6. **Conclusion**: - After evaluating all statements, the only incorrect statement is **Statement 2**. Therefore, the answer to the question is that the incorrect statement regarding the female reproductive system is the one that states the narrowest part of the oviduct is the ampulla. ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement regarding the female reproductive system is: "The narrowest part of the oviduct is ampulla."
