No, an ovum is a mature female reproductive cell, also known as an egg cell, while an oviduct is the tube through which the ovum travels from the ovary to the uterus. The oviduct is where fertilization of the ovum typically occurs.
The movement of the ovum is primarily driven by the beating cilia of the fallopian tubes, which create a current to help propel the ovum towards the uterus. In addition, muscular contractions of the fallopian tubes help to move the ovum along its journey.
The plasma membrane of the ovum controls what goes in and out of the ovum. The Zona Pellucida also known as the jelly coat is responsible for the binding of the sperm during fertilization. The outermost layer called the corona radiata provides the ovum with essential proteins and protects the ovum as it travels down through the fallopian tubes.
The female egg is the ovum. It grows within a structure known as the Graafian follicle. At around the 14th day of th menstrual cycle the follicle ruptures and releases the ovum or egg. - <a href="http://www.gynaeonline.com/ovarian_cycle.htm"> Ovum</a>
