The uterus and uterine tubes are both classified as internal female genital organs {fact:1, 2, 3} and are anatomically connected, as the uterine tubes attach to the uterus via the uterine horns [1] to facilitate the transport of fertilized eggs to the uterine cavity [2].

claimThe lower genital tract in females consists of the vulva and the vagina, while the upper genital tract consists of the uterus, cervix, uterine tubes, and ovaries.
referenceThe uterine tubes (also known as oviducts or fallopian tubes) are bilateral appendages located at the superior portion of the uterine cavity that transport sperm toward the egg and facilitate the passage of the fertilized egg to the uterus for implantation. They connect the endometrial and peritoneal cavities, exiting the uterus through the cornua. The tubes consist of three segments: the isthmus (closest to the uterus), the ampulla (the dilated middle segment where fertilization typically occurs), and the infundibulum (the distal segment). The infundibulum features fimbriae, which are fingerlike projections that capture the egg released by the ovary.
claimThe ovaries are paired organs located on either side of the uterus within the mesovarium portion of the broad ligament below the uterine tubes.
claimThe internal genitalia of the female reproductive system include the vagina, uterus, cervix, uterine tubes (also known as oviducts or fallopian tubes), and ovaries.

claimThe uterus is divided into three parts: the body (corpus), which is the main part connected to the uterine tubes via uterine horns and contains a base (fundus) and internal chamber (uterine cavity); the isthmus, which is the constricted part between the body and cervix; and the cervix, which is the inferior portion consisting of two parts (supravaginal, vaginal), two openings (internal os, external os), and a cervical canal.
