Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Rubin test is used to determine the patency of the fallopian tubes (oviducts) by injecting a gas into the cervical canal and observing its passage through the fallopian tubes. This helps in assessing if the tubes are open or blocked, which is crucial for fertility as blocked fallopian tubes can prevent eggs from being fertilized.
