Chapter 28.3, Problem 11AYLO

Summary Introduction

To discuss:

The process of ovulation, the day on which it occurs in a typical cycle, and how the egg gets into the uterine tube.

Introduction:

The uterine tubes, also known as fallopian tubes or oviducts, are 10 cm in length. This tube extends from the ovaries and terminate in the uterus. Each month, these tubes are involved in the transportation of the eggs from the ovary to the womb. During fertilization, these tubes take the fertilized ova toward the womb for implantation.
