Fallopian Tube Structure and Function
- Fimbriae are responsible for capturing the ovulated egg and guiding it into the fallopian tube.
- The fallopian tube provides a site for fertilization and supports the early development of the fertilized egg.
- The fallopian tube acts as a muscular tube that helps to move the egg or zygote towards the uterus.
