===Fallopian tubes=== {{Main|Fallopian tube}} The fallopian tubes are two tubes leading from the ovaries into the uterus. On maturity of an ovum, the follicle and the ovary's wall rupture, allowing the ovum to escape and enter the fallopian tube. There it travels toward the uterus, pushed along by movements of [[cilia]] on the inner lining of the tubes. This trip takes hours or days. If the ovum is fertilized while in the fallopian tube, then it normally implants in the [[endometrium]] when it reaches the uterus, which signals the beginning of [[pregnancy]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Fallopian Tubes: Location, Anatomy, Function & Conditions |url=https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/body/23184-fallopian-tubes |access-date=2023-12-19 |website=Cleveland Clinic |language=en}}</ref>
