The fallopian tubes, also known as oviducts, uterine tubes, or salpinges (singular salpinx) are uterine appendages, lined from inside with ciliated simple columnar epithelium, leading from the ovaries of female mammals into the uterus, via the uterotubal junction. They enable the passage of egg cells from the ovaries to the uterus. In non-mammalian vertebrates, the equivalent structures are just called oviducts. Fallopian tube recanalization (FTR) is a nonsurgical procedure to clear blockages in the fallopian tubes, part of a woman’s reproductive system. The fallopian tubes are important for female fertility. They are the passageways for the eggs to travel from the ovaries to the uterus. During conception: 1. The ovary releases an egg, which travels into the fallopian tube. 2. Sperm travels into the fallopian tubes to fertilize the egg. 3. The resulting embryo is nourished and transported to the uterus where the pregnancy continues.
