Question

An ovum moves from an ovary into the

uterine tube where its migration toward
the uterus is aided by the peristaltic
contractions of the smooth tissues of the
uterine tube's walls.
Which statement identifies the body systems that are directly involved in the interaction
described and explains how they accomplish the interaction?
A The nervous system produces hormones that stimulate the ovum, and the circulatory
system moves the ovum into the uterine tube.
B The circulatory system supplies the uterine wall with oxygenated blood, and the
immune system prevents damage to the ovum.
C The reproductive system produces the ovum, and the muscular system causes the
migration of the ovum by peristaltic contractions.
D The excretory system expels the ovum from the ovary, and the nervous system causes
the contractions of the smooth tissues of the uterine wall.

Answer 1

The answer will be C.

The creation of ovum begins in the follicle. These follicles slowly develop until they rupture, releasing the mature ovum into the fallopian tubes. This process is occurring in the ovaries which is part of the female reproductive system. The muscular system causes peristalsis which enables the ovum to travel through the fallopian tube until it either becomes fertilized in the fallopian tubes or not, causing what we know as a period.
