Question

State whether the following statements are true or false:
Statement 1: Fallopian tube is lined by hair-like structures called the cilia.
Statement 2: Cilia helps to push the released ovum towards the uterus.

Answer 1

• The tubular part of the reproductive system which starts from the fimbriae and leads to the muscular pouch in the centre is the fallopian tube, also known as the oviduct.
• There are some hair-like structures present in the inner lining of the fallopian tube called the cilia.
• These cilia constantly move which pushes the released ovum towards the uterus.
