How does an egg travel along the oviduct?
At ovulation, the egg is released into the abdominal cavity near the funnel-like opening of the oviduct. Cilia on the epithelial lining of the duct help collect the egg by drawing fluid from the body cavity into the oviduct. Together with the wave-like contraction of the of oviduct, the cilia convey the egg down the duct to the uterus.
