It has four described parts: the intramural part, isthmus, ampulla, and infundibulum with associated fimbriae. Each tube has two openings: a proximal opening nearest to the uterus, and a distal opening nearest to the ovary. The fallopian tubes are held in place by the mesosalpinx, a part of the broad ligament mesentery that wraps around the tubes.
For birds, the oviduct is composed of: Oviduct of a laying hen. Infundibulum (formation of chalazae, place of fertilisation) Magnum (formation of egg white) Isthmus (formation of the shell membrane) Shell gland (formation of egg shell) Vaginal homologue (formation of cuticle) (See matching numbers in the picture)
Infundibulum of uterine tube: the funnel-like end of the mammal oviduct nearest to the ovary. Gallbladder: The Infundibulum of the gallbladder (also known as the "neck" of the gallbladder) is the end of nearest to the cystic duct, which is often dilated relative to the body of the gallbladder, and is a common site for gallstones.
In the more posterior region, the suspensory ligament is attached to the upper pole of ovary and infundibulum of fallopian tube via a continuous tissue called the broad ligament. In sum, the suspensory ligament consists of a single connective tissue that has different regional notations, the peritoneum and the broad ligament.
The uterine horns (cornua of uterus) are the points in the upper uterus where the fallopian tubes or oviducts exit to meet the ovaries.They are one of the points of attachment for the round ligament of uterus (the other being the mons pubis).
Labeled anatomy of the human vulva and nearby structures. The vulva is of all of the external parts and tissues and includes the following: [4] Clitoris: an organ located at the top of the vulva.
A peg cell is a non-ciliated epithelial secretory cell within the uterine tube (oviduct or fallopian tube). [1] These cells represent one of three epithelial cell types found within the normal fallopian tube epithelium and only make up around 10% of the total number of cells. The other two cell types are ciliated columnar and intercalary cells. [1]
Tubal ligation (commonly known as having one's "tubes tied") is a surgical procedure for female sterilization in which the fallopian tubes are permanently blocked, clipped or removed.
