The fallopian tubes are a pair of narrow, muscular tubes that extend from the uterus towards the ovaries in females. The primary function is to transport eggs from the ovaries to the uterus and provide a site for fertilization by sperm. The fallopian tubes consist of the infundibulum, the ampulla, and the isthmus.
