The Oviduct is the tube that links the ovary to the uterus and which the ovulated oocyte travels down to become fertilised by sperm present in the female tract.

The Oviduct is the tube that links the ovary to the uterus and which the ovulated oocyte travels down to become fertilised by sperm present in the female tract. It is also refered to as the Fallopian tube, Uterine tube or Ovarian tube. The Oviduct is suspended from the abdominal wall by the mesosalpnix of the broad ligament. It functions to provide regulation check points for unfertilised oocytes. The mucosal glands produce oviduct secretions integral for:
*Supporting the unfertilised oocyte

*Supporting spermatozoa in the oviduct
