fallopian tubes

Ovary-to-womb channels

Fallopian tubes are the pair of ducts in the female reproductive system that carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus.

Fertilization typically occurs in the fallopian tubes.

Blockage or damage can cause infertility; surgical removal or tying of the tubes (getting your tubes tied) is a form of permanent contraception.
