Question

List the different parts of the human oviduct through which the ovum travels till it meets the sperm for fertilization.

Answer 1

Ovum is released from the ovary and enters the funnel-shaped part of oviduct called as infundibulum. It is then swept by ciliary action and muscular contractions in the wall of the uterine tubes to the ampullary-isthmic junction, the part of oviduct where fertilization takes place.
