Ovulation is the process of the release of an egg from the ovary.

When the egg is released from the ovary, it is passed into the uterine tubes, which are also called oviducts or fallopian tubes.

If the sperm is available, the egg gets fertilised in the uterine tube, and if not, the uterine lining sheds. This is known as menstruation.

The main function of the uterine tubes is to transport the eggs from the ovaries to the uterus.
