Question

Which structure helps in collecting ovum after ovulation?

Answer 1

Ovulation

The process by which ovum is released from the ovaries is known as ovulation.

Fimbriae:

1. Ovum is collected by fimbriae after ovulation.
2. The ovarian ends open up into the abdominal cavity through a funnel-shaped structure having finger-like projections known as fimbriae.
3. The to and fro movement of the fimbriae helps to direct the ovum into the fallopian tube.
