Simple columnar epithelial cells, some ciliated, line the uterine tube. The epithelium secretes mucus, and the cilia beat toward the uterus. These actions help draw the secondary oocyte and expelled follicular fluid into the infundibulum following ovulation. Ciliary action and peristaltic contractions of the uterine tube's muscular layer help transport the secondary oocyte down the uterine tube.

What else can I help you with?
What is the function of the cilia in the uterine tube?
The cilia in the uterine tube help to move the egg from the ovary to the uterus by creating a sweeping motion that propels the egg along the tube. This movement aids in the fertilization process by guiding the egg towards the sperm for potential fertilization.
Which part catches the fertilized egg and carries it to the uterus for implantation?
The fallopian tube catches the fertilized egg and carries it to the uterus for implantation. The inner lining of the fallopian tube helps nourish the developing embryo as it travels towards the uterus.
What is the path of an egg from production to implantation of the fertilized egg?
An egg is produced in the ovary, released into the fallopian tube during ovulation, fertilized by a sperm in the fallopian tube, then travels down to the uterus where it implants in the uterine lining for further development.
What is the path of an unfertilized egg from a follicle until it leaves the body?
Once the follicle erupts and the egg escapes, it enters the fallopian tube. Cilia on the lining of the fallopian tubes push the egg along on it's way to the uterus. If the egg is fertilized while on its way to the uterus, it implants in the endometrium when it reaches the uterus. If it is not fertilized, it is shed in the monthly menstruation cycle.
Is it true that the embryo normally attaches to a fallopian tube?
No, the embryo normally attaches to the lining of the uterus, a process known as implantation. If implantation occurs in the fallopian tube instead of the uterus, it can result in an ectopic pregnancy, which is a serious medical condition that requires immediate attention.
What are the hairs called on the fallopian tube?
cilia
What is the function of the cilia in the uterine tube?
The cilia in the uterine tube help to move the egg from the ovary to the uterus by creating a sweeping motion that propels the egg along the tube. This movement aids in the fertilization process by guiding the egg towards the sperm for potential fertilization.
What do you call the fingerlikeprojections that sweep the agg cell to the fallopian tube?
they are called cilia cells, they sway from side to side and sweep the egg down the fallopian tube.
What is the function of the fibrium?
It is a finger-like projection at the end of a Fallopian tube. Before ovulation, sex hormones activate the fimbriae causing it to swell with blood and gently hit the ovary in a sweeping motion. An oocyte is released from the ovary and the cilia of the fimbriae will sweep the ovum into the fallopian tube.
What movements aid an egg down the fallopian tube?
You can't actively "help" an egg move through the fallopian tube. It does it on it's own, regardless of what you do. I think what the question is asking is what part of the body. Although YOU can't, there are cilia that line the inside of the fallopian tube that help to guide it out.
What on the inner lining of the fallopian tube aids in moving a developing embryo?
The uterine tube is called the fallopian tube and the lining is made up of tiny hairlike, fingers called fimbria. The fimbria move the developing embryo along the fallopian tube to the uterus where it will embed itself. Here it will grow and develop until it is ready to be born in about 9-10 months..
Which part catches the fertilized egg and carries it to the uterus for implantation?
The fallopian tube catches the fertilized egg and carries it to the uterus for implantation. The inner lining of the fallopian tube helps nourish the developing embryo as it travels towards the uterus.
How does the embryo zygote travel do the fallopian tube and enter the uterus?
After fertilization, the zygote forms in the fallopian tube and begins to divide, becoming a blastocyst as it travels toward the uterus. This journey takes about 3 to 5 days, during which the cilia lining the fallopian tubes help move the developing embryo along. As it reaches the uterus, the blastocyst is ready to implant into the uterine lining, where it can begin to grow and develop further. Hormonal changes in the mother's body support this process, preparing the uterus for implantation.
How is the oocyte transported from the ovary to the uterus?
Near the ovary you have fimbriated end of the Fallopian tube. It take in the ovum inside. Then you have cilia in the Fallopian tube to push the ovum towards the uterus.
What types of tissue can have cilia?
The parts of the body that have ciliated columnar epithelium include the nose, the trachea, and the uterine tube. The cilia in the nose and trachea help expel foreign particles that should not enter the lungs while the cilia in the uterine tube help move the egg and sperm to the Fallopian tube.
What duct does the ovum travel to reach the uterus?
The ovum travels through the fallopian tube to reach the uterus. Once fertilized, the ovum will implant in the lining of the uterus to continue developing into a fetus.
Does the sperm start to fertalize inside the fallopian tube?
No. Fallopian tubes exist only in women. Sperm is produced only by men.
