  3. Oviduct: Transport the ovum into the uterus; fertilisation occurs here, and the zygote travels down the uterus via the oviduct.
    Oviducal funnel: The released egg is picked up by the fimbriae (cilia) of the oviducal funnel of the oviduct.
    Ovary: It produces gg and the female hormones progesterone and oestrogen.
    Lining of uterus: It provides a surface for the implantation of a fertilised egg.
