Ovaries & Fallopian Tubes
Fallopian Tubes: marrow tubes that are attached to the upper part of the uterus and serve as tunnels for the egg cells to travel from the ovaries to the uterus. The fertilization of an egg by a sperm morally occurs in the Fallopian tubes. The fertilized egg then moves to the uterus, where it implants into the lining of the uterine wall.
