Fallopian tubes
The part of the uterus that lies above the point where the uterine tubes attach is called the fundus. It is the top portion of the uterus and is where the fertilized egg implants and grows during pregnancy.
The fimbriae, which are finger-like projections at the end of the infundibulum of the uterine tubes (also known as fallopian tubes), receive the released oocytes from the ovary. During ovulation, the fimbriae help guide the oocyte into the uterine tube, where it may be fertilized by sperm. The infundibulum connects to the ampulla, where fertilization typically occurs.
The pair of slender ducts are called the fallopian tubes, also known as uterine tubes. They play a crucial role in transporting eggs from the ovaries to the uterus for fertilization.
Fetal pigs are found in a structure called a uterine horn. It is the point where the uterus and the uterine tubes meet.
The superior rounded region of the uterus above the entrance of the uterine tubes is called the fundus. It is the part of the uterus that is opposite the cervix and serves as the uppermost section, providing a dome-shaped area that can expand during pregnancy. The fundus is important in both the structural support of the uterus and in providing space for the developing fetus.
The Fallopian Tubes were named after the Italian anatomist who first identified them, Gabriello Fallopio (died1562). Also called gonaduct , oviduct , salpinx, and uterine tube .
The uterine tubes in fetal pigs are in the same location as they are in humans. However, the size of uterine tubes in humans is much larger.

In humans, fertilization normally happens in the fallopian tubes. The fallopian tubes are also known as oviducts or uterine tubes.

fimbriae
The ovaries are partially surrounded by the funnel shaped distal end of the uterine (or fallopian) tubes. The funnel shaped end, called the infundibulum, has finder like projections called fimbriae, which create fluid currents that move the egg to the uterine tubes.
The uterine cornua defines the entrance of the uterine tubes into the uterus.
