Fallopian tube and its role in the reproductive
system
Fallopian Tube, the name comes from anatomist
Gabriele Falloppio who also named many other
anatomical structures. The Fallopian Tube is also
known as the uterine tubes, salpinges or
oviducts. In layman's terms, these are 10-12 cm
long tubes that stretch from the uterus to the
ovaries and are a part of the female reproductive
system. They are not just a part but they play a
very important role in the reproductive system.
Any birth defect, injury, condition or disease
can cause the reproductive system to fail and
could tend couples childless.
There are two ovaries attached to the J-shaped
Fallopian tubes which in turn are attached to
either side of the uterus. They are the form the
major part of the reproductive system of a woman.
A Fallopian tube is anatomically described to
have four major parts which have different roles
in the reproductive system.
3
Fimbriae finger-like ciliated projections that
help to collect the ovum or egg from the surface
of the ovary when it is ready for ovulation. 
4
The Infundibulum is a funnel-shaped opening near
the ovary to which the fimbriae is attached which
is the opening of the Fallopian tube through
which the eggs enter. 
Ampulla the widest section of the uterine or
Fallopian tube where the actual conception or
fertilization mostly happens.
Isthmus a narrow section that directs the
fertilized eggs towards the uterine cavity and is
the ending of the Fallopian tube.
An oviduct or Fallopian tube is lined by ciliated
epithelium which helps n the movement of the ovum
towards the uterus. The major function of the
Fallopian tube is to transport the oocytes after
ovulation towards the uterus. Before the oocytes
reach the uterus the eggs meet the sperm in the
ampulla region of the Fallopian tube. If the
fertilization takes place the Fallopian tube will
move the zygote with the help o the ciliated
epithelium and muscle movement of the Fallopian
tube towards the uterus for further growth of the
zygote. If in case the egg is not fertilized it
get degenerated here. 
The Fallopian tube is the place where the initial
development of the embryo takes place. The embryo
enters the uterine cavity only after five days
and implants itself in the uterus for further
growth.

There may also be cases where the embryo gets
implanted in the Fallopian Tube itself which is
termed as a tubal pregnancy or ectopic pregnancy.
This happens when there is any damage to the
lining of the Fallopian tube that moves the egg
to the uterus and is unable to move the egg and
the egg gets implanted in the Fallopian tube
itself. This could cause internal bleeding and
rupture.  
6
The Fallopian tubes are a very major part of the
reproductive system and they are also can play a
very major role in family planning. A Fallopian
tube could be manipulated to stop the egg from
going towards the uterus and thus avoiding
pregnancy. Tubectomy is one such procedure where
the Fallopian is blocked to prevent the transport
of the ovum to the uterus for sterilization in
females.

The fallopian tube also plays a major role in
alternative methods that are used to get pregnant
like the IVF technique of ZIFT (Zygote
Intrafallopian transfer) and GIFT (Gamete
Intrafallopian Transfer ) in which the zygote or
the gamete is transferred to the Fallopian tube
for the further process of pregnancy.
