Fallopian Tubes

The fallopian tube (also oviduct; Latin tuba uterina, tuba fallopii; Greek Salpinx) is a part of the sexual organs of female vertebrates.

Close to the eggs the wide, open funnels of the fallopian tubes have finger-like projections (fimbria), whose movements catch the mature eggs released during ovulation and guide them inside. There are countless hair-like projections (cilia), which, together with contractions of the fallopian tube wall, transport the egg further towards uterus. At the same time, however, the fallopian tubes are also access routes for the upward swimming sperm cells. The fertilization of an egg usually takes place in the upper part of the fallopian tube.

Eierstock und Eileiter werden in der Medizin oft als Adnexeeiersto bezeichnet.
