The Fallopian tubes measure 12 cm long and are the female structures that line the uterine cavity and point to the ovaries. It is the place where the sperm meets the egg to fertilize it. They transport the resulting embryo to the uterus (womb) for implantation and subsequent development during pregnancy.
