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.
