The '''Fallopian tubes''' are [[tube]]s within the female body which play an important role in [[human reproduction]]. The [[ovum]] passes from the [[ovary]] to the [[uterus]], by being gently swept along by [[cilia]] in the Fallopian tubes. The tubes are no bigger than a quarter in diameter and no longer than a candy cane (which they resemble in shape). [[Ectopic pregnancy|Ectopic pregnancies]], where the unborn child develops outside of the uterus, most commonly occur within the fallopian tubes.
