Fallopian Tube Patency Tests
The Fallopian tubes, also known as uterine tubes, salpinges (singular salpinx), or oviducts, are tubes that stretch from the Ovary, ovaries to the uterus, in the human female reproductive system. In other mammals they are called oviducts. A human fertilization, fertilized egg cell, egg passes through the Fallopian tubes from the ovaries to the uterus. The Fallopian tubes are lined with simple columnar epithelium#Ciliated, simple columnar epithelium with hair-like extensions called cilia which carry the fertilized egg. The name comes from the Catholic priest and anatomist Gabriele Falloppio, for whom other anatomical structures are also named. Structure The Fallopian tube is composed of four parts. These are, described from near the ovary, ovaries to inwards near the uterus, the ''infundibulum'' with its associated ''fimbriae'' near the ovary, the ''ampulla'' that represents the major portion of the lateral tube, the ''isthmus'', which is the narrower part of the tube that lin ...

Histology
Histology, also known as microscopic anatomy or microanatomy, is the branch of biology which studies the microscopic anatomy of biological tissues. Histology is the microscopic counterpart to gross anatomy, which looks at larger structures visible without a microscope. Although one may divide microscopic anatomy into ''organology'', the study of organs, ''histology'', the study of tissues, and ''cytology'', the study of cells, modern usage places all of these topics under the field of histology. In medicine, histopathology is the branch of histology that includes the microscopic identification and study of diseased tissue. In the field of paleontology, the term paleohistology refers to the histology of fossil organisms. Biological tissues Animal tissue classification There are four basic types of animal tissues: muscle tissue, nervous tissue, connective tissue, and epithelial tissue. All animal tissues are considered to be subtypes of these four principal tissue types ...
