Is the tuba uterine intraperitoneal?

Yes, the tuba, or fallopian tube, is considered intraperitoneal. It is suspended within the peritoneal cavity and is not directly attached to the uterus, allowing for the movement of the tube within the abdominal space. The fallopian tubes extend from the uterus to the ovaries, with their fimbriae capturing the released ova during ovulation.


Can you keep your ovaries with a hysterectomy and not have a monthly ovulation?

No. hysterectomy only removes uterus. The ovaries produce the ova (eggs) so unless you have a bilateral (both) oopherectomy you will still ovulate.


What is the tube that provides pathways for the ova from the ovaries to the iterus?

The fallopian tubes function to provide a connection between the ovaries and the uterus. The ova travels through the fallopian tubes where occsional pregnancy may occur. The fallopian tubes are named after Gabriel Fallopius.


Where does the ova ovulates and mature in the female body?

In the Ova-ries (Ovaries). During ovulation, several ova drop out of the ovaries and into the funnel-shaped top of the Fallopian tubes, which they travel down so that they are available in the uterus. The uterus is then signaled to begin preparing its lining for pregnancy. If no pregnancy happens, then after awhile, this new lining drops loose, along with blood, and exits the body through the birth canal. This latter process is called, "Menstruation", or having a 'period')


What happens in the ovaries?

Well first let's start off to what they are. Ovaries are "two rounded organs" that are on both sides of the uterus and the contain ova, which are the female reproductive cells. So, every month the ovaries let go ova and it goes through the uterine tubes and gets ready for pregnancy. Unless it is fertilized it gradually disappears along with the extra walls of the uterus built during that process and the walls go out with your menstrual period. So, basically the ovaries hold all the ova and are a big part in your body.

What do the uterine tubes connect?

The uterine tubes, also known as fallopian tubes, connect the ovaries to the uterus. They serve as the pathway for ova (eggs) released from the ovaries to travel to the uterus, and they are also the site where fertilization typically occurs when sperm meets the egg. Each tube extends from the uterus to the ovary, facilitating the movement of eggs and sperm.
