These tubes one on each side of the top of the uterus are hollow from inside and open on respective sides of the uterus The outer end of the tube widens into infundibulum and ends in multiple fimbriae one of the fimbriae is generally attached to the ovary The fimbriae and the tubular epithelia are ciliated in nature to carry the ovum by ciliary movement from ovary to the uterus
