Trace the development and the movement of an oocyte from its beginning in the ovarian follicles to its likely place of fertilization.
What will be an ideal response?
Every month, one of 10 to 20 ovarian follicles will mature into a vesicular follicle. Under the influence of FSH and LH, one follicle will rupture, and the oocyte will enter the abdominal cavity. The fimbriae of the fallopian tubes contain cilia that begin to wave and conduct the oocyte into the fallopian tube. Just inside the infundibulum is the ampulla. Here is where fertilization normally takes place.
