What happens to the ovum after ovulation in the menstrual cycle?
After ovulation in the menstrual cycle, the ovum travels down the fallopian tube towards the uterus. If fertilization does not occur, the ovum disintegrates and is shed along with the uterine lining during menstruation.
Where does implantation of the fertilised ovum occur?
Implantation of the fertilized ovum typically occurs in the lining of the uterus, known as the endometrium. The fertilized egg undergoes several divisions as it travels from the fallopian tubes and embeds itself into the uterine lining to establish a successful pregnancy.
Where would a fertillised egg settle?
I assume you are referring to humans. If a pregnancy is to be successful the fertilised egg must implant itself in the wall of the womb.
Which side of the uterus does the egg implant on?
After fertilization, the egg implants in the lining of the uterus. It can implant on any side of the uterus where the endometrial lining is thick enough to support pregnancy.
Why does the lining of the uterus thicken?
The lining of the uterus thickens in preparation for a potential pregnancy. This thickening is mainly regulated by estrogen and progesterone hormones. If a fertilized egg implants in the uterus, the thickened lining provides a nourishing environment for the embryo to grow.
The cavity whose lining is designed to receive a fertilized ovum is the?
Uterus
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.
What does the menstrual discharge consist of?
Menstruation results in the discharge of the uterus lining, consisting of blood and tissue.
What happens to the ovum after ovulation in the menstrual cycle?

Does a ovum moves?
No, an ovum does not move on its own. It is a stationary cell that is released from the ovary during ovulation and remains in the fallopian tube until fertilization occurs. Movement of the ovum is facilitated by the cilia lining the fallopian tubes, which help transport it towards the uterus.
What is the lining of the uterus breaking apart?
The lining of the uterus breaking apart is the mucus lining that is usually formed so as to create a conducive environment for a fertilized egg to develop. If the ovum is not fertilized, the thick lining breaks apart which is what causes menstruation.
What receives and supports a fertilized ovum?
The uterus receives and supports a fertilized ovum. Specifically, the inner lining of the uterus, called the endometrium, thickens to provide a suitable environment for implantation and nourishment of the developing embryo. This support is crucial for the maintenance of pregnancy until the fetus is ready for birth.
Which organ nourishes the fertilized ovum?
The uterus nourishes the fertilized ovum.
What are the hormones that are delivered to the lining of the uterus?
hormone that maintains the lining of the uterus?
Where fertilized ovum developed?
Uterus
Why is the uterus lining not shed if a woman becomes pregnant?
i don't know. can you tell me. Actual answer> The follicle or polar cells (3 unwanted cells from miosis) detach from the ovum (egg) which is ovulation. The follicle then becomes the corpus luteum which produces the hormone progesterone, this maintains the uterus lining preventing it from being shed.
