What is "ovidcut"?
The oviduct, also known as the fallopian or uterine tube, is a tube-like structure in female animals, including mammals. It serves as a passageway for the transportation of eggs from the ovary to the uterus or exterior. The oviduct plays a crucial role in reproduction, as it is the site where fertilization between an egg and sperm typically occurs. The walls of the oviduct are lined with ciliated cells and muscular layers, which aid in the movement of the egg toward the uterus. In addition to providing a pathway for the egg, the oviduct also provides a suitable environment for fertilization and early embryo development.
Examples
1. But it's probably inserted into the oviduct.
2. Sand tiger shark eggs develop and hatch inside their mother’s oviducts at different times.
3. As you know, the gonads of a female embryo turn into two ovaries one on either side of the uterus with its oviducts, or Fallopian tubes, reaching out toward them.
4. Researchers think they use the oviduct to shoot out fertilized eggs that can then disperse through the water.
