Fallopian tubes

Fallopian tubes are two narrow passages located on either side of the uterus in a woman’s reproductive system. Their main function is to carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus. When a woman ovulates, an egg is released and enters a fallopian tube, where it may meet sperm for fertilization. If fertilized, the resulting embryo travels to the uterus for implantation. Fallopian tubes are essential for natural conception; damage or blockage can affect fertility. They are lined with tiny hair-like structures called cilia that help move the egg and fertilized egg along the tube.
