  Hey,
  
  🧬 Step-by-Step Journey of the Egg:
  Ovulation
  The ovary releases a mature egg , this is called ovulation.
  
  Fimbriae in Action
  
  Tiny finger-like structures called fimbriae at the end of the fallopian tube gently sweep the egg from the ovary into the tube
  🧠 Science says: Fimbriae respond to hormonal signals to guide the egg .
  
  Cilia Do the Work
  
  Inside the tube are tiny moving hairs called cilia. They beat rhythmically to push the egg along.
  🧠 Research shows: Without cilia, eggs may not move properly.
  
  Smooth Muscle Help (Peristalsis)
  
  The tube also uses gentle muscle movements to push the egg toward the uterus.
  🧠 Fact: This is the same motion that helps move food in your intestines!
  
  Destination: Uterus
  If the egg meets sperm, fertilization happens in the tube.
  If not, the egg still reaches the uterus and later leaves the body during menstruation.
