Oviduct

In this photo, the uterine horns, continuous with the oviducts, are held by forceps.  The solid yellow circles indicate the terminus of the oviducts near the ovaries.

Called a fallopian tube in humans, the oviduct receives the egg from the ovary at ovulation. Cilia in the lining of the oviducts propel the eggs to the horns of the uterus.
