No it cannot, because it is not a somatic cell (typical epithelial). Egg is a gamete, that has a haploid DNA, haploid means only half of whats needed for a baby, the other half comes from the father. The egg dies and your gynecologist is guaranteed to have a patient for the next 20 or so years. The myth that it gets reabsorbed makes no sense because firstly it dies, decomposes, and since the DNA of the egg is incomplete, if it doesn't start decomposing healthy cells and your fallopian tubes, it may get reabsorbed inside the cell, causing a high risk of DNA entering the cell nucleus and cause a potential mutation that can mutate into an oncogene and hence lead to a cancerous growth.

What is the path of an unfertilized egg from a follicle until it leaves the body?

Once the follicle erupts and the egg escapes, it enters the fallopian tube. Cilia on the lining of the fallopian tubes push the egg along on it's way to the uterus. If the egg is fertilized while on its way to the uterus, it implants in the endometrium when it reaches the uterus. If it is not fertilized, it is shed in the monthly menstruation cycle.


What is the pathway of an egg from the ovary to the anus?
