What is the difference between ovary and oviduct?

Oviduct is where the egg cells are fertilized while the ovary is where the egg cells are produced and where they mature.


What is the size of egg to get it fertilized?

There is no size requirements, the egg is fertilized inside the hen before the shell surrounds it on its way through the oviduct.


Where do eggs go after the oviduct?

After traveling through the oviduct, eggs are typically released into the uterus, where they may be fertilized if sperm are present. In birds, the egg is then encapsulated in layers of albumen, membranes, and a hard shell before being laid. In mammals, if fertilization occurs, the egg implants in the uterine lining to develop into an embryo. If not fertilized, the egg is eventually expelled from the body.


Where does a fertilized egg develop after leaves the fallopian tube?

It develops in the uterus if it is nurtured by sperm.


When an egg or ovum leaves an ovary it goes into a what?

When an egg or ovum leaves an ovary, it enters the fallopian tube, also known as the oviduct. This is where fertilization can occur if sperm is present. The ovum then travels down the fallopian tube toward the uterus, where it can implant if fertilized. If not fertilized, it will eventually be expelled from the body during menstruation.


Are the oviducts attached to the ovaries?

It would make sense if it were directly connected but it didn't evolve that way. The ovary has many eggs. The connection is not direct to the ovary and the oviduct has to "catch" the egg as it leaves the ovary. At times the egg is not "caught" but gets into the free space. If the egg becomes fertilized, the fetus can began to develop outside the uterus.


What my happened to the fertilized it if you remain in the oviduct instead of attaching to the wall of the uterus?

If a fertilized egg remains in the oviduct instead of implanting in the uterus, it can result in an ectopic pregnancy. In this case, the embryo may develop in the oviduct, which is not designed to support a growing pregnancy. This can lead to serious complications, including rupture of the oviduct, internal bleeding, and potential harm to the mother's health. Ectopic pregnancies typically require medical intervention to prevent these risks.


What happens to an egg when it passes through the oviduct?

As it passes through the oviduct, the egg is fertilized by sperm if present. It also undergoes various physiological changes, such as the formation of the eggshell and the addition of protective layers. Finally, the egg is released from the oviduct and deposited for external development.


Does the egg travel through the oviduct?

Yes, the egg travels through the oviduct in the female reproductive system. The oviduct is where fertilization typically occurs if sperm are present, and it serves as a pathway for the egg to travel from the ovary to the uterus or be released from the body during ovulation if not fertilized.


When a mature egg leaves the ovary it enters the?

It enters the oviduct


how is a chicken egg fertilised?

A chicken egg is fertilized when a rooster mates with a hen, transferring sperm to the hen's oviduct where the egg is formed. The sperm fertilizes the ovum (egg cell) within the oviduct, resulting in the formation of a zygote. The zygote then develops into an embryo within the egg as it travels down the oviduct and is eventually laid by the hen.
