FALLOPIAN TUBES The fallopian tubes play an important role in pregnancy
or conception. This branch outs from either side of the body of the uterus
and forms the passages through which the egg is conducted from the ovary
into the uterus. The fallopian tubes are about 10 cm long & the outer
end of each tube is funnel shaped, ending in long fringes called fimbriae.
The fimbriae catch the mature egg and channel it down into the fallopian
tube when it is released from the ovary. Fallopian tube itself is highly
movable muscular structure capable of precisely coordinated movement.
The egg & the sperm meet in the outer half of the fallopian tube, called
the ampulla fertilization occurs here, after which the fertilized egg
now called an embryo its way down the tube towards the uterus. The uterine
end of the fallopian tube,
called the isthmus, prevents the embryo from being released into the uterus
until just the right time for implantation, which is about 4 to 7 days
after ovulation. The tube is much more complex than a simple pipe, and
the lining of the tube is folded and lined with microscopic hair like
projection called cilia, whose beating pushes the egg and embryo along
the tube, the tubal lining also produces a fluid that nourishes the egg
and embryo during its sojourn in the tube. ;
