Background and Aims: The fallopian tubes, also known as, uterine tubes, are pair of fine tubes leading from the ovaries of female mammals into the uterus, via the uterotubal junction. Optimal fallopian tube function is necessary to provide a proper environment for early human life. Fallopian tube plays an essential role in gamete transport, fertilization and the early development of the embryo which can be affected by a wide range of factors and conditions that may impair fertility. The study of normal morphological structure of fallopian tube in different age groups may help in different disease condition of fallopian tube. Materials and Methods: The study focused on morphological study of the fallopian tube, the specimens were divided in three age groups (0 to 13 years, 14 to 49 years and e"50 years) with 10 specimen each group. Results: The average length of the fallopian tube was found to be 7.89 cm in left and 7.65 cm, in right, 10.5 cm in left and 10.27 cm in right and 9.87 cm in left and 9.57cm in right respectively, while the average outer diameter of left and right side were at isthmus 3.01 mm and 2.85 mm, 6.87 mm and 6.05 mm and 6.18 mm and 5.33 mm respectively, average outer diameter of left and right side were at ampulla 4.78 mm and 4.43 mm, 10.56 mm and 9.25 mm and 9.24 mm and 8.23 mm respectively, average outer diameter of left and right side were at infundibulum were 3.63 mm and 3.44 mm, 9.39 mm and 8.24 mm and 7.69 mm and 7.02 mm respectively in different age groups. Conclusion: The length and outer diameter showed significant difference in right and left side and in different age groups. Knowledge of normal values might be helpful in different disease condition of the fallopian tube.
