Question

Write any five function of fallopian tube

Answer 1

The inner mucosa is lined with ciliated columnar epithelial cells and peg cells (non-ciliated secretory cells). They waft the ovum towards the uterus and supply it with nutrients.

Smooth muscle layer contracts to assist with transportation of the ova and sperm. Muscle is sensitive to sex steroids, and thus peristalsis is greatest when oestrogen levels are high.

.They serve to transport ova from the ovaries to the uterus; they are also the locus for fertilisation of the ovum by sperm.
