There is one on each side of the uterus (womb). These are what develop and release eggs (ovum) that are what merge with sperm to create a zygote. A zygote is a cell that eventually develops into a an embryo. Embryo eventually develop into fetuses that become infants. The ovaries release the eggs into the Fallopian tubes that are attached and open into the uterus. The ovaries also produce hormones needed to initiate and sustain a pregnancy.

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.


The egg is propelled down the oviduct by?

Cilia lining moves the human egg through the oviduct. They beat in such a manner that it drives the egg toward the uterus.


Oviduct is another name for which of these?

The oviduct is another name for the fallopian tube in females. It is the structure that connects the ovaries to the uterus and serves as the passageway for the egg to travel from the ovary to the uterus.


Where does a fertilized egg develop after it leaves the oviduct?

A fertilized egg develops in the uterus after it leaves the oviduct. It implants into the uterine wall where it continues to grow and develop into an embryo.


How does a sperm get from the oviduct to the uterus?

You have the anatomy backwards. Sperm enters the body in the vagina, then travels through the cervix to the uterus and (if they make it that far) to the oviduct (or fallopian tubes). So sperm would not travel FROM the oviduct TO the uterus because that would mean the sperm would need to start their journey at the wrong end of the anatomy. Sperm travel by means of a whip-like tail called a flagellum. Under a microscope, sperm cells look like little tadpoles wiggling their flagellum to propel themselves forward. So, basically, they swim in the seminal and vaginal fluids.

Where does a zygote travel fom the oviduct?

A zygote travels from the oviduct to the uterus for implantation and further development into an embryo. This journey is facilitated by ciliary movement in the oviduct and uterine contractions.


What is another for oviduct?

ovaries


Function of the oviduct?

The oviduct is a tube that serves to transport the egg from the ovary to the uterus. Fertilization usually occurs within the oviduct, and it also provides a suitable environment for early embryonic development. Additionally, the oviduct helps in the transportation of the embryo towards the uterus for implantation.


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.
