Yes, the job of the fallopian tube is to propel the fertilized egg down the fallopian tube toward the uterus. Special cell structures containing cilia move synchronized in one direction and move the egg. If scars form within the fallopian tubes as a result of infections, fluid build up, this movement can be disrupted and the fertilized embryo may get stuck in the tubes giving origin to a tubal pregnancy. This condition is very dangerous for the woman and emergency care is required. If the embryo develops inside the Fallopian tube, it can cause it to rupture.

What travels down the pollen tube and fertilizes?

The pollen tube carries the male gametes (sperm) from the pollen grain to the egg cell in the ovule. Once the pollen tube reaches the ovule, the sperm fertilizes the egg cell, resulting in the formation of a seed.


Does a egg if a plant pass through the pollen tube or something different?

An egg in a plant does not pass through a pollen tube. In plant reproduction, the egg cell is located in the ovule within the ovary of the flower. The pollen tube allows the sperm cells to travel from the pollen to the egg for fertilization to occur.


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 usual site of the fertilization of an egg cell?

The usual site of fertilization of an egg cell is the fallopian tube, specifically the ampulla, which is the widest part of the tube. Sperm typically meet the egg in this location, where fertilization occurs before the fertilized egg moves down the fallopian tube towards the uterus for implantation.


How does the egg move to the fallopians tube when it is discharged by an ovary?

the fallopian provides a way through which an egg released from the ovary can travel


What does fallopinan tube contain?

The fallopian tube contains cilia that help move the egg from the ovary to the uterus. It also provides a site for fertilization to occur between the egg and sperm.


What structure transports sperm in the ovule in flowering plants?

The pollen tube is a structure designed to help a particle of pollen, the male side of the plant fertilization process, to access the egg cell in the female part of the plant. The egg cells are typically protected by cell walls and shells designed to keep them in place and protect them from outside elements. Pollen particles create pollen tubes to reach through these walls and access the egg cell.
