the main function of the family of the fallopian tubes is to catch hold of the secondary oocyte once released from the graphene follicle on the 14th day of ovulation by the ovary and help in its conduction into the impeller where the fertilization occurs at the upper lower stomach junction with one of the sperms following which the conceptus or the embryo is further propagated into the uterine cavity for implantation

Hello Aman,

The fimbriae of the uterine tube, also known as fimbriae tubae, are small, fingerlike projections at the end of the fallopian tubes, through which eggs move from the ovaries to the uterus. The fimbriae are connected to the ovary

As there is no direct connection between the ovaries and fallopian tubes (also known as uterine tubes or oviducts), the egg is transported to the uterus in a peritoneal fluid produced by the fimbriae on the edge of the tube’s opening.

Because the ovum cannot move by itself, the sweeping movement of the cilia of the fimbriae dictates its movement. It generally takes about 3 to 5 days for an egg to leave the ovary and land in the uterus.

Hope this helps and all the very best!
