Adnexa meaning.

• A. Uterus and cervix
• B. Vagina and vulva
• C. Bladder and ureters
• D. Ovaries and fallopian tubes

Answer: (D)

Adnexa refers to the structures surrounding the uterus, especially the ovaries and the fallopian tubes. That’s why listing ovaries and fallopian tubes is the best choice—the adnexa are the paired reproductive structures attached to the uterus. The uterus and cervix are the main uterine body, not the adnexa; the vagina and vulva are external parts of the birth canal; and the bladder and ureters are part of the urinary system. In clinical practice, adnexal findings (like tenderness or masses) point to involvement of the ovaries or fallopian tubes rather than the uterus.
