Question

Assertion(A): Fallopian tube is lined by ciliated epithelium, whose cilia beats towards the uterus.
Reason(R): Cilia lining the Fallopian tube helps to pick up and push the released ovum into the oviduct

• A. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
• B. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
• C. A is true but R is false
• D. A is false but R is true

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

Both A & R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. The fallopian tube connects the ovary to the uterus. Every female has a pair of ovaries and hence a pair of fallopian tubes that connect to the uterus. When a mature ovum is released from the ovary, the ciliated epithelium tissue lined in the fallopian tube help in the movement of the ovum to the oviduct with the help of finger-like projections called cilia.
