ABSTRACT
The fallopian tube is a very important organ for the survival of our species. It is the usual meeting place of oocyte and sperm. It is the site of conception. The fallopian tube has several important functions: (i) pro-ovarian sperm transport, (ii) sperm maintenance and capacitation, (iii) ovum capture and transport in prouterine direction, (iv) ampullary retention of the ovum, (v) provision of a milieu to sustain the ovum and allow fertilization to occur, and finally (vi) transport of the zygote from the ampulla to the uterine cavity.
