Question

Which structure sweeps the ovum into the fallopian tube after ovulation?

Options

• The perimysium

• The infundibulum

Answer 1

After ovulation, the ovum is swept into the fallopian tube by the fimbriae (finger-like projections at the end of the oviduct). The fimbriae create currents that direct the ovum into the fallopian tube.
