Question
**Question 84:** A 33-year-old woman undergoes a hysterosalpingogram to evaluate infertility. If the uterine tubes are patent, the contrast medium is expected to flow into which of the following structures? **Options:** - A) Internal iliac lymph vessels - B) Ovarian follicles - C) Peritoneal cavity - D) Ureter - E) Uterine veins **Analysis:** A hysterosalpingogram is a radiologic procedure used to investigate the shape of the uterine cavity and the patency (openness) of the fallopian tubes. During the procedure, a contrast medium is injected, allowing the regions it reaches to be visualized via X-ray. **Correct Answer:** C) Peritoneal cavity **Explanation:** If the uterine tubes are open (patent), the contrast medium will pass through the tubes and into the peritoneal cavity. This is a normal finding and indicates that there are no blockages preventing the passage of the medium through the tubes.
