The uterine tubes (formerly called oviducts or fallopian tubes) conduct the oocyte, discharged monthly from an ovary during child-bearing years, from the peri-ovarian cavity to the uterine cavity. They also provide the usual site of fertilization. The tubes extend laterally from the uterine horns and open into the peritoneal cavity near the ovaries ... 3, record 1, English, - uterine%20tube

Les trompes utérines, aussi appelées trompes de Fallope, forment la portion initiale des voies génitales de la femme [...] Une trompe utérine capte l'ovocyte après l'ovulation et c'est dans ce conduit que se produit généralement la fécondation. Chaque trompe mesure environ 10 cm de longueur et s'étend vers le plan médian à partir de la région de l'ovaire. 5, record 1, French, - trompe%20ut%C3%A9rine

À première vue, la salpinx ne semble pas être un instrument «poétique», puisqu'on ne connaît pas de texte poétique déclamé avec un accompagnement de trompette. Cet instrument produit un son décrit comme aigu et criard, qui n'est donc pas musical non plus qu'adapté au chant : d'après les spécialistes, on ne peut faire entendre que trois ou quatre notes différentes avec une salpinx. Elle a deux fonctions principales : elle est avant tout l'instrument du héraut, utile car le son porte au loin. Sa seconde fonction est d'annoncer les charges lors des batailles, exceptionnellement de sonner la retraite. 3, record 2, French, - salpinx
