sometimes oviduct is used interchangeably with follaopian tube. Here they are different - the oviduct connects the gonad to the outside in a variety of animals. The mammal-class fallopian tube is derived from the mullerian duct and connects the gonads/infubdibulum to the uterus |

The fish eventually extrudes the eggs through small genital pores towards the rear of the body[WP] in birds divided into infundibulum, magnum, isthmus, uterus, and vagina |
