Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Tiny hair-like structures that line the fimbriae called cilia beat rapidly in the direction of your uterus. This beating motion sweeps the egg into your fallopian tubes, where it can be fertilized by your partner’s or a donor’s sperm. If the egg gets fertilized, it becomes an embryo.
Detailed explanation-2: -The main function of ciliated cells in the fallopian tube is to transport the ovum from the ovary toward the uterus and help to remove genotoxic stress after ovulation [34, 35].
Detailed explanation-3: -After conception, a fertilized egg travels through your fallopian tubes to your uterus. The fertilized egg (called an embryo) implants (attaches) into the wall of your uterus.
