Question
Describe the role of fallopian tubes in the female reproductive system.
Solution
The fallopian tube is responsible for carrying the egg to the uterus. The finger-like processes or fimbriae of the tube reach out into the pelvic cavity and picks up the released egg. The fallopian tubes are not only crucial for the transport of the egg from the ovary to the uterus, they are also the location where the sperm meets the egg cell and fertilises the egg.
