fallopian tubes location
bilateral
upper margin of the broad ligament
fallopian tubes function
accept and hold the egg for fertilization, periostalsis propels the egg to the uterus
fimbriae/infundibulum
finger like projections, catch the egg and guide it into the tube
ampulla
main body of the tube
isthmus
muscle, acts as a sphinctor, opens into the uterus, helps to prevent endometeriosis
intramural
within the wall of the uterus
cornu

ovary functions
endocrine-produce estrogen and prog.
exocrine-produce eggs and expulsion of them to fallopian tubes
cortex ovary
