Fallopian
Egg passage descriptor
Fallopian describes the pair of tubes connecting the ovaries to the uterus in female mammals.
Eggs travel through the Fallopian tubes, where fertilization typically occurs.
Named for the 16th-century Italian anatomist Gabriele Falloppio, the term appears almost exclusively in the phrase Fallopian tubes.
