At the time of ovulation, the fimbriae increase their activity and create currents in the peritoneal fluid that help propel the oocyte into the Fallopian tube.
The mature follicle releases the oocyte into the fallopian tube during ovulation, not into an organ or gland. The fallopian tube is where fertilization typically occurs if sperm are present.

Ovulation
The release of the secondary oocyte from the ovary is called ovulation. This typically occurs around the middle of the menstrual cycle and is triggered by a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH).
LH Leutenizing hormone- it stimulates the release of the oocyte into the fallopian tube, i.e. ovulation. [Do not confuse with FSH- follicle stimulating hormone, which stimulates the growth/maturation of the follicle containing the oocyte IN the Ovary.]

LH (luteinizing hormone) surge triggers ovulation by inducing the release of the oocyte from the ovarian follicle. Additionally, high levels of estrogen also play a crucial role in promoting ovulation by stimulating the production of LH.
The journey of the oocyte through the uterine tubes to the uterus following ovulation normally takes about 3-4 days. During this time, the oocyte may encounter sperm for fertilization in the fallopian tube before reaching the uterus for possible implantation.
Sperm penetrate through the zona pellucida, an acellular glycoprotein layer surrounding the oocyte, to reach the oocyte membrane for fertilization. The sperm then binds to specific receptors on the oocyte membrane to release enzymes that help in penetrating the oocyte membrane to fuse with the oocyte.
Frog oviducts are roundish pale colored organs located at the top of the kidneys in the frog reproductive system. The function of the oviducts in frogs is to allow eggs passage.they're the passage way for the eggs.The function of an oviduct is the same in all vertebrates - to collect an oocyte from the ovary and, if sperm is present, allow the fertilization of the oocyte and then deliver the zygote to the uterus for implantation.
The structure that receives the ovulated oocyte and provides a site for fertilization is called the fallopian tube, also known as the oviduct. Fertilization typically occurs in the ampulla region of the fallopian tube.
