Hi, everybody. Our next question says, which of the following is a pear shaped organ situated between the rectum and the bladder. A fallopian tube. B ovary C uterus or D urethra. Well, hopefully, even if pear shaped organ didn't even, didn't call to mind right away. What our answer is you? This question is pretty easy because it's pretty easy to rule out the wrong answers here. Choices. A fallopian tube and D urethra are both tubes. So definitely not pear shaped fallopian tubes, of course, are those tubes that extend from the upper part of the uterus, specifically upper corners. And that guide the eggs from the uterus to from the ovaries, excuse me, to the uterus. So definitely not our answer. And then of course, the urethra and choice D is that tube that connects the bladder with the opening of the body. So then we're just left with B ovary and C uterus. And getting to our correct answer of uterus is pretty easy because the ovaries are not between the bladder and the rectum. They're on either side of the uterus and they're also more, you describe them as almond shaped. Um But if you can't, can't remember the shape of them. They're definitely not in the right location for our problem. So that's why that's not our correct answer. And we arrive at our correct answer of choice. C the uterus, which is definitely pear shaped and located between the rectum and the bladder. See you in the next video.
