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.
Detailed explanation-2: -At ovulation, the oocyte plus its cumulus cells and their matrix-the cumulus–oocyte complex (COC)-is released from the ovary and must be pulled into the oviduct, vaulting over a gap between the surface of the ovary and the open end of the oviduct, the infundibulum.
