An Impact of Fallopian Tube Regarding Structure, Function, Development And Clinical Significance
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The fallopian tubes, also termed as uterine tubes, oviducts or salpinges (sg.: salpinx), are paired tubular sex organs in the human female body that stretch from the ovaries to the uterus. The fallopian tubes are part of the female reproductive system. In other vertebrates, they are only treated as oviducts. These tubes are hollow, muscular organs that are typically 10 to 14 cm (3.9 to 5.5 in) long and 1 cm (0.39 in) in diameter. In addition to related fimbriae, it is composed of four parts: the intramural portion, isthmus, ampulla, and infundibulum. Each tube has two openings: the distal opening closest to the ovary and the proximal opening closest to the uterus. The fallopian tubes are held in place by the mesosalpinx, a part of the broad ligament mesentery that wraps around the tubes. Another part of the broad ligament, the mesovarium suspends the ovaries in place.
