MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Once inside the walls of the fallopian tube, muscle contractions push the egg gently towards the uterus. The egg will either meet sperm on its journey through the fallopian tube and fertilisation will happen, or it will arrive in the uterus unfertilised and be absorbed back into the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ovulation is essential to getting pregnant-but it takes more than just an egg to conceive. For example, the pathway to the egg must be clear. If the fallopian tubes are blocked, pregnancy can’t occur. Also, you need sperm.

Detailed explanation-3: -Following ovulation, the egg is capable of fertilization for only 12 to 24 hours. Contact between the egg and sperm is random.

Detailed explanation-4: -The outermost layer is mostly smooth, long muscle fibers. The innermost layer consists of circular fibers. Together, these muscles contract (squeeze) to move an egg, sperm, or embryo through your fallopian tubes, along with the help of the cilia.
