What is the function of the cilia in the lining of the fallopian tube?
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. Hole's A&P page 519
Is the uterine tube and the fallopian tube the same?
Yes, the uterine tube and the fallopian tube are the same structure in the female reproductive system. They are responsible for transporting the egg from the ovary to the uterus and are also the site of fertilization.
The funnel-like opening at the distal end of the uterine tube is called the?
The funnel-like opening at the distal end of the uterine tube is called the infundibulum. It has finger-like projections called fimbriae that help capture the egg released from the ovary during ovulation and direct it into the uterine tube for fertilization.
What is the tube held open by rings of cartilage lined with cilia and mucous membrane?
The tube is known as the trachea, or windpipe. It serves as a passageway for air to travel in and out of the lungs. The rings of cartilage help keep the trachea open, while the cilia and mucous membrane function to trap and remove any foreign particles or debris from the air before it reaches the lungs.
How are cilia and flagella different in terms of their structure and function?
Cilia and flagella are both hair-like structures found in cells, but they differ in size and function. Cilia are shorter and more numerous, while flagella are longer and fewer in number. Cilia are primarily involved in moving substances along the cell surface, while flagella are used for cell movement.
Function of cilia in uterine tube?
to move material further down the tube. ie from the infundibulum to the ampulla
How does the structure of the uterine tube move the egg toward the uterus?
The uterine tube is lined with cilia. These small hair-like projections sweep the egg toward the uterus.
What is the function of the cilia in the lining of the fallopian tube?
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.

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.
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 are the structures for the pathway of a secondary oocyte?
In what order does the pathway of a second Oocyte ampulla of uterine, body of uterus, fimbriae of uterine tube, fundus of uterus, infundibulum of uterine tube, isthmus of uterine tube and ovary
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 is a tube containing cilia called?
A tube containing cilia is called a trachea. The trachea is part of the respiratory system and it helps to move mucus and debris away from the lungs by the beating action of the cilia.
What are the hairs called on the fallopian tube?
cilia
Where fertilization happens?
ampulla of the uterine tube.
Is the uterine tube and the fallopian tube the same?
Yes, the uterine tube and the fallopian tube are the same structure in the female reproductive system. They are responsible for transporting the egg from the ovary to the uterus and are also the site of fertilization.
What is in the uterine tube shortly after sperm penetration?
oogonium
