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 ovaries are two oval-shaped organs that lie to the upper right and left of the uterus. They produce, store, and release eggs into the fallopian tubes in the process called ovulation (av-yoo-LAY-shun).
Detailed explanation-3: -Once the mature ovum is released from the ovary, the fimbriae catch the egg and direct it down the fallopian tube to the uterus. It takes about a week for the ovum to travel to the uterus. If sperm are able to reach and penetrate the ovum, the ovum becomes a fertilized zygote containing a full complement of DNA.
