Why do eggs have big ends and little ends? Is it because they are squeezed into oval-shape in the process of being laid?

Merging fallopian tube into oviduct

"In mammals, the portion of the oviduct above the uterus is referred to as the fallopian tube."

Obviously the fallopian tube is a part of the oviduct in mammals. Neither article should be merged into the other.

This would be like merging the "caboose" article into the "train" article. The previous proposal was even more absurd, it would be like merging "train" into "caboose". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.62.132.92 (talk) 16:12, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Do not merge. The fallopian tube article pertains specifically to the human female anatomy, not to females of different species. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.164.80.175 (talk) 19:46, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

oviduct internal structure — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.55.92.81 (talk) 17:04, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oviducts are not unique to vertebrates.

Oviducts occur in pretty much any advance animal. Arthropods, echinoderms, mollusks, probably any bilaterian that produces eggs! This article needs better perspective. --Animalparty! (talk) 21:16, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
