The Fallopian tubes, also known as uterine tubes or salpinges (singular salpinx) are uterine appendages. The name comes from the Catholic priest and anatomist Gabriele Falloppio for whom other anatomical structures are also named. Inside the Fallopian tubes there are hair-like Fallopian cilia which carry the fertilized egg from the ovaries of female mammals to the uterus, via the uterotubal junction. This tubal tissue is ciliated simple columnar epithelium. In non-mammalian vertebrates, the equivalent of a Fallopian tube is an oviduct. Its different segments are the infundibulum with its associated fimbriae near the ovary, the ampullary region that represents the major portion of the lateral tube, the isthmus the visible medial third segment which is the narrower part of the tube that links to the uterus, and the interstitial (also known as intramural) part that transverses the uterine musculature. The ostium is the point where the tubal canal meets the peritoneal cavity, while the uterine opening of the fallopian tube is the entrance into the uterine cavity, the uterotubal junction
