Where are the female fallopian tubes located?

The fallopian tube is of special importance to a woman's life, because its main function is to transport sperm and then make a woman pregnant. Therefore, many women want to know more about the location and physiological function of the fallopian tube. In order for you to have a comprehensive understanding of your fallopian tube, let's take a look at the introduction below.

Location of the fallopian tubes:

The fallopian tubes are located in the human pelvic cavity. Most people have two fallopian tubes, the left and right fallopian tubes (1eft right faltopian tube or oviduct) are located on each side of the uterus (uterus). They extend outward from the outer corner of the fundus of the uterus in parallel, first reaching the uterine end of the ovary, then ascending along the ovarian mesocolonial margin to the fallopian tube end of the ovary, in an arch shape and covering the ovary, then downward and inward, ending at the free edge of the ovary and the upper part of its inner surface. The fallopian tube is surrounded by two leaves of peritoneum, the broad ligament. The part between the fallopian tube, ovary and ovarian proper ligament is called mesosalpinx, which contains blood vessels, lymphatic vessels and nerves that supply the fallopian tube. The broad ligament that extends from the ampulla of the fallopian tube and the upper pole of the ovary to the side wall of the pelvis is called the suspensory ligament of the ovary, also known as the infundibulo-pelvic ligament. The ovarian corona is located in the outer part of the fallopian tube mesosalpinx, which contains 10 to 15 short tubes that converge toward the ovary to form a blind end and lead to the basal tube located in the fallopian tube mesosalpinx, that is, the ovarian corona long tube. The ovarian crown and paraovarian body are the remnants of the mesonephric duct. In the fimbria of the fallopian tube or the broad ligament adjacent to the fimbria, one or more small vesicles with a diameter of about 0.5 to 1 cm can almost always be seen, which are called the coronary ovarian bulla (1agpendixvesicalosaeepoophozi). It arises from the paramesonephric duct but is clinically of no significance. The left fallopian tube is adjacent to the small intestine and sigmoid colon. The right fallopian tube is close to the small intestine and appendix. The fallopian tubes have a large range of motion. Not only can they move with changes in the position of the uterus, but they can also change position due to peristalsis and contraction. If a woman suffers from appendicitis, it is easy to cause obstruction of the right fallopian tube fimbria and pelvic adhesions.

Physiological functions

The fallopian tube has extremely complex and delicate physiological functions, and plays an important role in egg collection, sperm capacitation, egg fertilization, fertilized egg transportation, and the survival and development of early embryos. With the development of reproductive assisted technologies such as embryo transfer and in vitro fertilization, the importance of understanding the fallopian tube in the reproductive process has become increasingly prominent. Therefore, in-depth exploration of the reproductive physiology of the fallopian tube will help further reveal the mysteries of fertility and may open up new avenues for eugenics and family planning. The fallopian tube can transport sperm and eggs to the ampulla from opposite directions within a certain period of time and create a suitable environment for the two to combine into a fertilized egg. The fertilized egg continues to stay in the fallopian tube and develop and divide until the endometrium and myometrium have matured and become suitable for the fertilized egg to implant, and then it enters the uterine cavity through the fallopian tube. How the fallopian tube completes such a complex physiological process is still under exploration.

The above is a comprehensive introduction to the location and physiological functions of the fallopian tubes. I believe that women who have read the above content will have become more familiar with the location of the fallopian tubes and their physiological functions. Therefore, many women should check their fallopian tubes regularly to understand their location so that they can have a specific understanding of their fallopian tubes.
