Question

The fimbriae of fallopian tube help in_________.

• A. collection of secondary oocyte after ovulation
• B. making necessary changes in endometrium for implantation
• C. release of ovum from Graafian follicle
• D. development of the embryo

Answer 1

The correct option is A collection of secondary oocyte after ovulation

The fimbriae are small finger-like projections of infundibulum of the fallopian tube. They collect the secondary oocyte released during ovulation.

Changes in the endometrium for implantation of the embryo are due to hormones, fimbriae has no role to play in it.

Release of the secondary oocyte from the mature Graafian follicle is called ovulation and it is under the control of hormones.

Zygote undergoes mitotic divisions called cleavage to form an embryo. Fimbriae has no role in the development of the embryo.
