What are the tubes called?
The Fallopian tubes, also known as uterine tubes, salpinges (singular salpinx), or oviducts, are tubes that stretch from the ovaries to the uterus, in the human female reproductive system. In other mammals they are called oviducts….

What are uterine tubes also called?
The uterine tubes, also known as oviducts or fallopian tubes, are the female structures that transport the ova from the ovary to the uterus each month. In the presence of sperm and fertilization, the uterine tubes transport the fertilized egg to the uterus for implantation.
Where is the Mesosalpinx?
Fallopian tube
Serous layer of the Fallopian tube, also known as mesosalpinx (Fig. 2A), is the outer tissue layer that wraps around the Fallopian tube and is part of the peritoneal cavity lining. Mesosalpinx is composed of epithelial cells of mesothelium and a mesh of serous membrane lining (interstitial connective tissue).
Why are there two fallopian tubes?
While women are usually born with two fallopian tubes, and both are used to transfer the mature egg from the ovary to the uterus (hoping to meet a healthy sperm along the way…), a single fallopian tube is able to do double duty (more on that below).
What is the branching tube?
When a person breathes, air taken in through the nose or mouth then goes into the trachea (windpipe). From there, it passes through the bronchial tubes, into the lungs, and finally back out again. The bronchial tubes, which branch into smaller tubes called bronchioles, are sometimes referred to as bronchi or airways.
Where is the branching tube?
The trachea is the tube that connects the mouth and nose to your lungs. It is also called the windpipe. You can feel some of your trachea in the front of your neck.
Is fallopian tube and oviduct Same?
The oviduct is also known as the fallopian or uterine tube. It is the passageway through which the ovum passes from the ovary to the uterine cavity. The oviducts are part of the genital tract.
What are the female gonads called?
ovaries
The female gonads, the ovaries, are a pair of reproductive glands. They are located in the pelvis, one on each side of the uterus, and they have two functions: They produce eggs and female hormones.
What is cardinal ligament?
The cardinal ligament attaches the lateral side of the vagina and cervix to the lateral pelvic wall, which provides support to the vagina and cervix. Studies have shown variable findings in the collagen content and distribution in the cardinal ligaments of women with a prolapsed uterus.
What is the mesovarium?
Description. The mesovarium is the portion of the broad ligament of the uterus that suspends the ovaries. The ovary is not covered by the mesovarium, rather it is covered by germinal epithelium.
In which side of ovary is baby boy?
In the normal female the ovary of the right side yields ova which on fertilization develop as males, and the ovary of the left side yields ova which are potentially female.
Can a woman with one ovary get pregnant?
Getting pregnant with one ovary is not only possible but usually no more difficult than with two ovaries. More important is whether the fallopian tube is intact. A fallopian tube is a small tube that connects the ovary to the uterine cavity.
What are the different types of G tubes?
There are two types: balloon and non-balloon. Balloon buttons are held in place by a water-filled balloon. Balloon buttons are the most common G-tube for children once the stoma (G-tube site) is fully healed, usually in 2-3 months. The use of balloon buttons as a first G-tube is increasing among medical professionals.
Which is the most common type of feeding tube?
The most common type of feeding tube is the gastrostomy (G) tube. G-tubes are placed through the abdominal wall into the stomach. This sounds scarier than it is.
Which is the most common blood collection tube?
The list below lists the most commonly used blood collection tubes, their additives and uses in laboratory: 1. Red The red bottle is less common – it is used for biochemistry tests requiring serum which might be adversely affected by the separator gel used in the yellow bottle.
How are G tubes placed in the stomach?
G-tubes are placed through the abdominal wall into the stomach. This sounds scarier than it is. The G-tube surgery can be performed in three ways: surgically through small incisions using a laparoscope, surgically using a larger open incision, or endoscopically using a scope into the stomach to create the stoma from the inside.
