The uterine (fallopian) tubes are lined with ciliated columnar epithelium, which helps facilitate the movement of the egg from the ovary towards the uterus. This tissue contains cilia that beat in a coordinated manner to aid in the transportation of the egg, as well as secretory cells that provide nutrients and support to the egg and sperm. The combination of these features is essential for reproductive processes.

What movements aid an egg down the fallopian tube?

You can't actively "help" an egg move through the fallopian tube. It does it on it's own, regardless of what you do. I think what the question is asking is what part of the body. Although YOU can't, there are cilia that line the inside of the fallopian tube that help to guide it out.


Does the fimbria of the uterine tube aid in moving a developing embryo?

Yes, the fimbria of the uterine tube helps to move a developing embryo by creating a current that guides the egg from the ovary into the fallopian tube. This movement facilitates fertilization by bringing the egg and sperm closer together.


Does connective tissue cover the body and line the body cavities?

No, epithelial tissue covers of free body surfaces and forms glandular tissue.


What is the function of the cilia in the lining of the fallopian tube?

Simple columnar epithelial cells, some ciliated, line the uterine tube. The epithelium secretes mucus, and the cilia beat toward the uterus. These actions help draw the secondary oocyte and expelled follicular fluid into the infundibulum following ovulation. Ciliary action and peristaltic contractions of the uterine tube's muscular layer help transport the secondary oocyte down the uterine tube. Hole's A&P page 519


Does amount and duration of menstrual bleeding relate to uterine lining?

Yes. The uterine lining is the inner layer of the uterus (womb); the cells that line the womb which in another term is called the endometrium. This tissue is normally shed monthly in response to the hormonal changes of the menstrual period. So, it all depends on how your hormones work in your body.


How do you get your insurance company to cover removing an embedded IUD and what could happen to you if it is never removed?

Not sure about the first part of the question, but embedded IUDs can be a dangerous problem. It can put you at higher risk for uterine perforation and secondary infection such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Embedding occurs when the uterine tissue starts to grow around the IUD; they should only be removed by a medical professional. I would find it strange that an insurance company would refuse to cover something that could lead to a serious medical complication down the line (maybe because it is associated with an elective procedure, i.e. contraception?), but I would consult the call line of your local OB/GYN clinic to be sure.


What helps move eggs through the fallopian tubes?

Cilia line the fallopian tubes. Cilia are like tiny fingers that move the egg down through the tubes and into the Uterus.

Does connective tissue usually line the body cavity?

No, connective tissue typically does not line body cavities. Connective tissue is more commonly found throughout the body providing structural support and connecting different tissues and organs. Epithelial tissue lines body cavities and surfaces.


Is a stomach a nervous tissue?

No, the stomach is not composed of nervous tissue. It is primarily made up of muscle tissue, connective tissue, and epithelial cells that line the digestive tract. Nervous tissue is found in the form of nerve fibers that innervate the stomach to regulate its functions.


Which tissue is more apt to line a lumen?

Epithelial tissue is more apt to line a lumen due to its characteristic of forming continuous cellular sheets that provide a protective barrier. This type of tissue is found in organs that have cavities or spaces, such as the digestive tract, respiratory tract, and blood vessels.
