Question

What process facilitates locomotion for the ovum?

Question 6 options:

a. Once the ovum leaves the ruptured follicle it is captured by the uterus and then directed into the Fallopian tube, where it is pushed along towards the oviducts.


b. Once the ovum leaves the ruptured follicle it is captured by the fimbriae and then directed into the Fallopian tube, where it is pushed along towards the uterus via cilia.


c. Once the ovum leaves the ruptured follicle it is fully matured and propels itself into the Fallopian tube, where it moves along towards the uterus.


d. Once the ovum leaves the ruptured follicle it is captured by the cervix and then directed into the Fallopian tube, where it is pushed along towards the uterus via cilia.

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. Once the ovum leaves the ruptured follicle it is captured by the fimbriae and then directed into the Fallopian tube, where it is pushed along towards the uterus via cilia.

Step-by-step explanation

Ovulation is a process in which the ovum is released from the ruptured follicle, there it is captured by the fimbriae and taken to the fallopian tubes (where it will be fertilized by sperm) and then it will reach the uterus (the place where the fetus will grow) through the cilia. Additionally, this process is in which the woman is fertile to conceive and occurs around the fourteenth day of the menstrual cycle (which lasts twenty-eight days).
