Detailed explanation-1: -The luminal cells of the fallopian tubes have cilia (hair-like structures) on their surfaces, and by the ciliary movement of these small hair-like structures a flow is created directed from the ovary to the uterus. This important flow carries the eggs from the ovary toward the uterus.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Fallopian tubes have small hair-like projections called cilia on the cells of the lining. These tubal cilia are essential to the movement of the egg through the tube into the uterus. If the tubal cilia are damaged by infection, the egg may not get ‘pushed along’ normally but may stay in the tube.
Detailed explanation-3: -The inner lumen of the oviducts is covered with asymmetric motile cilia, which is sufficient to transport the ovum towards the uterus [13, 45].
