Question
what structure captures the ova after it is expelled by the ovary and transports it into the uterus for fertilization and implantation?
round ligament
fallopian tube
cervical os
endometrium
The fallopian tubes, also known as uterine tubes, have finger - like projections called fimbriae that capture the ova (egg) released by the ovary. The ova then travel through the fallopian tube towards the uterus where fertilization and implantation can occur. The round ligament is mainly for uterine support, the cervical os is the opening of the cervix, and the endometrium is the inner lining of the uterus where implantation occurs but does not capture the ova.
