Each fallopian tube leaves the uterus at an opening at the [[uterine horn]]s known as the '''proximal tubal opening''' or ''proximal ostium''.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Thurmond |first1=Amy S. |last2=Brandt |first2=Kathleen R. |last3=Gorrill |first3=Marsha J. |date=March 1999 |title=Tubal Obstruction after Ligation Reversal Surgery: Results of Catheter Recanalization |url=http://radiology.rsna.org/content/210/3/747.figures-only |url-status=dead |journal=Radiology |volume=210 |issue=3 |pages=747–750 |doi=10.1148/radiology.210.3.r99mr10747 |pmid=10207477 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130415175734/http://radiology.rsna.org/content/210/3/747.figures-only |archive-date=15 April 2013 |access-date=28 May 2010}}</ref> The tubes have an average length of {{convert|10|-|14|cm|in|sp=us}}<ref name="emed2018"/> that includes the intramural part of the tube. The tubes extend to near the ovaries where they open into the abdomen at the '''distal tubal openings'''.
