A pregnant adolescent asks the nurse, "Why does the physician call measuring my uterus a ‘fundal height'?" The nurse's answer is based on the fact that the fundus of the uterus is located:
1. In the elongated portion where the fallopian tubes enter.
2. In the lower third area.
3. At the uppermost (dome-shaped top) portion.
4. Between the internal cervical os and the endometrial cavity.

Rationale:
1. The elongated portion where the fallopian tubes enter the uterus is called the cornua.
2. The lower third of the uterus is called the cervix, or neck.
3. The rounded, uppermost (dome-shaped top) portion of the uterus that extends above the points of attachment of the fallopian tubes is called the fundus.
4. The isthmus is the portion of the uterus between the internal cervical os and the endometrial cavity.
