The figure given below depicts a diagrammatic sectional view of the female reproductive system of humans. Which one set of three parts out of I – VI have been correctly identified?
In the diagram, III points to the funnel-shaped part of the Fallopian tube lying close to the ovary: the infundibulum.
IV points to the finger-like projections at the edge of the infundibulum, which help in collecting the ovum after ovulation: the fimbriae.
V points to the narrow lower part of the uterus that opens into the vagina: the cervix.
The other sets each contain a wrong identification: III is the infundibulum rather than the Fallopian tube as a whole, IV is the fimbriae and not the oviducal funnel, V is the cervix and not the uterus, and VI marks the vagina and not the cervix.
Hence the correctly identified set is (III) infundibulum, (IV) fimbriae, (V) cervix.

The part of Fallopian tube closest to the ovary isEach Fallopian tube (oviduct) is about 10–12 cm long and extends from the periphery of the ovary to the uterus.
The part closest to the ovary is the funnel-shaped infundibulum; its edges have finger-like projections called fimbriae, which help in collecting the ovum after ovulation.
The infundibulum leads to a wider part called the ampulla.
The last part, the isthmus, has a narrow lumen and joins the uterus.
The cervix is the narrow lower part of the uterus, not a part of the Fallopian tube.
Hence the part closest to the ovary is the infundibulum.
