Scope note: Conducto par muy especializado que se extiende desde el ÚTERO hasta el OVARIO correspondiente. Transporta el ÓVULO desde el ovario y es el sitio donde se produce la maduración final del óvulo y la FECUNDACIÓN. Consta de intersticio, istmo, ampolla, infundíbulo y franjas (fimbrias). Las paredes de las trompas uterinas tienen tres capas: serosa, muscular y una capa mucosa interna provista de células secretoras y ciliadas.

Scope note: A pair of highly specialized canals extending from the UTERUS to its corresponding OVARY. They provide the means for OVUM transport from the ovaries and they are the site of the ovum's final maturation and FERTILIZATION. The fallopian tube consists of an interstitium, an isthmus, an ampulla, an infundibulum, and fimbriae. Its wall consists of three layers: serous, muscular, and an internal mucosal layer lined with both ciliated and secretory cells.
