GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The fallopian tubes are a pair of tubes that eggs travel through to get from the ovaries to the uterus. Each month, during a process called ovulation, one of the ovaries releases an egg that travels down one of the fallopian tubes, where it may or may not be fertilized by a sperm.

Detailed explanation-2: -One of two long, slender tubes that connect the ovaries to the uterus. Eggs pass from the ovaries, through the fallopian tubes, to the uterus. In the female reproductive tract, there is one ovary and one fallopian tube on each side of the uterus.

Detailed explanation-3: -Adhesive sites on the cilia, which are located on the surface of the fimbriae, are responsible for egg pickup and movement into the tube. The cilia within the tube, and muscular contractions resulting from the movement of the egg, create a forward motion. Transport through the tube takes about 30 hours.

Detailed explanation-4: -You ovulate one egg per month, usually. This is the single egg that makes it through the whole ovulatory process: the egg follicle is activated, the egg grows and matures, and then-once it reaches maturation-it breaks free from the ovary and begins on its journey down the Fallopian tubes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Small hair-like structures in the lining (cilia) sway, moving eggs, sperm and an embryo (if fertilization takes place) through your fallopian tubes.
