The length of the fallopian tube ranges from:
A. 22-27 cm B.7-12 cm C. 28-31 cm D. 2-7 cm
Correct Answer: B.7-12 cm
Explanation:
The length of the fallopian tube typically ranges from 10 to 12 cm, though anatomical variation can extend the range from approximately 7 to 14 cm in adults.
Summary
Measurement Length
Typical range 10–12 cm
Broader anatomical variation 7–14 cm
Let me know if you’d like information on its parts (infundibulum, ampulla, isthmus, intramural) or clinical significance (e.g., tubal ligation, ectopic pregnancy).
Other Options Details
Here is a description of the options given, in the context of the length of the fallopian tube:
Normal fallopian tube length
• In adult females, each fallopian tube typically measures about 10–14 cm in length.
• The commonly accepted average length is approximately 11–12 cm.
Explanation of Each Option
Option Length Range Description
A. 22–27 cm Much longer than normal This range is far above the normal length for a fallopian tube. A tube of this length is not physiologically typical in humans.
B. 7–12 cm Normal range This range matches the commonly accepted normal anatomical length of the fallopian tube (about 10–12 cm).
C. 28–31 cm Extremely long This range is not consistent with human anatomy; no normal fallopian tube is this long.
D. 2–7 cm Shorter than normal This range is below normal length and might indicate congenital abnormality or surgical removal/partial resection.
Correct option for normal fallopian tube length
B. 7–12 cm
