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.
