What is "fallopian tube"?
The fallopian tube, also known as the uterine tube, is a slender, tube-like structure connecting the ovary to the uterus in the female reproductive system. It serves as the pathway for the transport of eggs (ova) released by the ovary towards the uterus. The fallopian tube is the site where fertilization typically occurs, as sperm cells can meet and fertilize the egg as it travels through the tube.
Examples
1. In a natural pregnancy embryos in this cleavage stage would still be in the Fallopian Tube, between the ovary and the uterus.
2. One set can develop into the uterus and fallopian tubes, while the other set has the potential to become the epididymis, vas deferens, and seminal vesicles.
3. We've done a couple patients who have Fallopian tube cancers, another very rare cancer.
4. And then you've got the fallopian tubes and then you've got the baby chute.
