The Fallopian tubes are two tubes, one on each side of the uterus, run-ning sinuously from its upper angles out towards the side of the pelvis(Figs. 22 and 53). They lie enclosed in the upper free margin of the ANATOMY OF THE FEMALE PELVIC ORGANS. 21 broad ligaments, and vary in length from 10 to 16 cm. (3 to 4 inches).They are not of equal length, the right being frequently longer than the left. After leaving the superior angle of the uterus, the course of the tube is straight for about 2£ centimetres (1 inch). It then curves outwards andforwards, and finally backwards and inwards, so that the whole tube hasroughly the shape of a shepherds crook (Fig. 22). Three parts come upfor consideration—the isthmus, the ampulla, and the pavilion or fim-briated end. The isthmus is the straight narrow part of the tube (Fig. 22, b), which. Kg.

The ampulla is the curved and thick part of the tube (Fig. 22, c),having an average diameter of about 6-8 mm., with a lumen admittingthe ordinary uterine sound. The free fimbriated end of the Fallopian tube (pavilion) is expandedand funnel-shaped ; and it is provided with primary and secondary fim-briae surrounding the opening of the tube to which they converge. Onespecial fimbria runs to the ovary (Fig. 22). On section the Fallopian
