They enable the passage of egg cells from the ovaries to the uterus . In non-mammalian vertebrates, the equivalent structures are called oviducts . </P> <P> In a woman's body the tube allows passage of the egg from the ovary to the uterus . Its different segments are (lateral to medial): the infundibulum with its associated fimbriae near the ovary, the ampullary region that represents the major portion of the lateral tube, the isthmus which is the narrower part of the tube that links to the uterus, and the interstitial (also known as intramural) part that transverses the uterine musculature . The ostium is the point where the tubal canal meets the peritoneal cavity, while the uterine opening of the Fallopian tube is the entrance into the uterine cavity, the uterotubal junction . </P>
