Describe in brief the parts of uterine (Fallopian) tube. Uterine tube is divided into four parts. From lateral to medial end they are: Infundibulum ( 1.25cm): is the most lateral part which opens into the peritoneal cavity.It is funnel shaped and has finger like processes called fimbriae surrounding its opening (ostium). The uterine tubes (or fallopian tubes, oviducts, salpinx) are muscular ‘J-shaped’ tubes, found in the female reproductive tract. They lie in the upper border of the broad ligament, extending laterally from the uterus, opening into the abdominal cavity, near the ovaries. Learn about the fallopian tubes, paired tubular sex organs in the human female body that connect the ovaries to the uterus. The tubes have four parts: intramural, isthmus, ampulla, and infundibulum with fimbriae, and are involved in egg transport and fertilization. The fallopian tube (TA: tuba uterina 8), also known as the uterine tube or, less commonly, the oviduct, is a paired hollow tube that bridges the ovary and uterus and functions to convey the mature ovum from the former to the latter.
