Fallopian Tubes

A

Fallopian tubes connect the ovaries to the uterus. There are two fallopian tubes on each side of the uterus. Their job is to transport the egg down to the uterus. Fallopian tubes are also known as oviduct or egg tube. They are lined with tiny hairs. Theses are called cilia. - they help to omove to the egg through the fallopian tubes to the uterus. Fertilisation of the egg by tthe sperm takes place in the fallopian tubes.

Q

Ovulation and Fertilisation

A

Every month an ovum (egg cell) is released from an
ovary into the oviduct. This is called OVULATION. If there are sperm cells in the oviduct the ovum may join with one of them. This is called FERTILISATION. The fertilised ovum then travles down to the uterus where it grows into a baby.

Q

Fertilisation

A

After ovulation, the egg moves into the fallopian tube.
If sexual intercourse has taken place recently, many sperms will surround the egg. After being fertilised, the egg starts to divide first into two cells, then four, and so on. When it reaches the uterus, it is a hollow ball of cells. About six days after fertilisation, it becomes implanted in the uterus lining.
