Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which structures help to “sweep” the oocyte into the fallopian tube?
A
fimbriae
B
cilia
C
flagella
D
phospholipids
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: -Ovum is collected by fimbriae after ovulation. The ovarian ends open up into the abdominal cavity through a funnel-shaped structure having finger-like projections known as fimbriae. The to and fro movement of the fimbriae helps to direct the ovum into the fallopian tube.
