fallopian tube

Initial section of the oviduct through which the ova pass from the ovary to the uterus. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the fallopian tube is

Initial section of the oviduct through which the ova pass from the ovary to the uterus. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the fallopian tube is

It sits in the pelvis and trunk, within the reproductive system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.

What the fallopian tube connects to

The atlas records 19 typed relationships for it, across 8 kinds of connection. part of internal female genitalia, material anatomical entity and pelvic region of trunk.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the fallopian tube. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as mammalian oviduct, salpinges, salpinx, uterine tube (sensu Mammalia), fallopian tubes and female paramesonephric duct, and 2 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the fallopian tube?

It sits in the pelvis and trunk, within the reproductive system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.

What does the fallopian tube connect to?

Part of: internal female genitalia, material anatomical entity and pelvic region of trunk.

Is the fallopian tube the same in other species?

Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
