Test #6 - Susceptibility to PID in women

Bacteria causing PID can spread upward from the vagina or cervix (opening to the uterus) into the fallopian tubes, ovaries, uterus and into the abdominal cavity. (More information on PID)

This question was discussed in class - bacteria gain access to the pelvic cavity through the uterus between the oviduct and the ovary.
