It would make sense if it were directly connected but it didn't evolve that way.

The ovary has many eggs. The connection is not direct to the ovary and the oviduct has to "catch" the egg as it leaves the ovary. At times the egg is not "caught" but gets into the free space. If the egg becomes fertilized, the fetus can began to develop outside the uterus.

The function of the oviducts is to transport eggs from the ovaries to the uterus and provide a site for fertilization to occur. In addition, the oviducts have cilia that help move the egg towards the uterus and provide a suitable environment for early embryo development.


How do blocked oviducts prevent fertilisation talking place?

Blocked oviducts can prevent fertilization from taking place by obstructing the passage of eggs from the ovaries to the uterus. Sperm are unable to reach the egg for fertilization, leading to infertility. The blockage may result from infection, scarring, or other conditions.
