Uterine Tubes
nThe uterine tubes, also
called the fallopian tubes or oviducts, extend
laterally from both sides of the uterus toward the ovaries.
nIn these tubes, the secondary oocyte is
fertilized, and the pre-embryo begins to develop as it travels toward the uterus.
nUsually it takes the
pre-embryo about 5 to 6 days to reach the lumen of the uterus.
