uterus- isthmus- ampulla- infundibulum
identify- this segment of the tube is within the wall of the uterus- in a fixed position- narrowest part of the tube- segment of the tube that is within the uterine wall and called the “interstitial portion”
isthmus
this portion of the uterine tube is lateral to the isthmus- is the widest part of the tube- and fertilization usually happens here
ampulla
