Explanation

A fallopian tube is a part of a woman's reproductive system. There are two of them, and they connect the ovaries, where eggs are produced, to the uterus, where a baby grows. When an egg is released from an ovary during the menstrual cycle, it travels down the fallopian tube to the uterus. This is also where fertilization happens if the egg meets with sperm.
