The fallopian tube is a part of the female reproductive system that connects the ovaries to the uterus. It is where fertilization typically occurs, when a sperm penetrates an egg released from the ovary. This area of research focuses on studying the function, structure, and potential disorders of the fallopian tube, such as blockages or infections that can impact fertility. Researchers may investigate ways to improve treatments for fallopian tube-related issues, such as in vitro fertilization or surgical interventions. Understanding the fallopian tube is important for overall reproductive health and fertility.
