Oviduct is a funnel shaped narrow duct that helps in transportation of oocyte towards the uterus. Oviduct is also called uterine tube or fallopian tube and is about 4-5 inches long. It is made up of three segments infundibulum, ampulla and isthmus.
Infundibulum has a finger like projection over the ovaries and receives the egg released from the ovary. Ampulla consists the major part of oviduct and provide perfect condition forfertilization of ovum and transfers the egg towards isthmus.
The final segment of oviduct is isthmus which connects ampulla to uterus and transport the oocyte towards the uterus for further development.
