• A. Endometrium
• B. Parametrium
• C. Myometrium
• D. Vesicouterine Fold

Answer: (B)

Think about how the uterus and cervix are held in place in the pelvis. The parametrium is the fibrous tissue surrounding the uterus that extends to the pelvic sidewalls and contains the cardinal ligaments. These ligaments attach the cervix to the lateral pelvic walls and the bladder neck, providing the anterior support that anchors the cervix at the angle where the bladder sits. The endometrium and myometrium are parts of the uterine wall and cavity, not primary supports. The vesicouterine fold is a peritoneal reflection between bladder and uterus, describing their relationship rather than serving as the main anchor.
