What else can I help you with?
How would you describe the production of an ovum?
The production of an ovum, or egg cell, is called oogenesis and occurs in the ovaries of females. It involves a series of cell divisions and maturation processes that result in the development of a mature egg cell capable of being fertilized by a sperm cell. Ovulation is the release of a mature ovum from the ovary into the fallopian tube, where it can potentially be fertilized.
Is ovum and oviduct the same thing?
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.
What are the functions of the parts in the ovum cell?
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.
What is a Female egg cell?
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>
How many sperm fertilize the ovum?
Typically, only one sperm fertilizes an ovum to form a zygote. Multiple sperm attempting to fertilize the ovum can lead to abnormalities in the resulting embryo.
Does a ovum moves?
No, an ovum does not move on its own. It is a stationary cell that is released from the ovary during ovulation and remains in the fallopian tube until fertilization occurs. Movement of the ovum is facilitated by the cilia lining the fallopian tubes, which help transport it towards the uterus.
What does the sperm do?
The motility of the sperm helps to progress its movement towards the ovum to fertilise it.
What is the function of the ciliated cells in the lining of the oviduct?
They help to move the egg down the tube and into the womb.
