Fallopian tube in humans is important for:

Correct answer: C. Secondary oocyte

  • A. Ovulation
  • B. Primary oocyte
  • C. Secondary oocyte
  • D. Ova

Explanation

Option A: Ovulation is the process of the release of an egg from the ovary. The fallopian tube is not involved in ovulation. Option B: Primary oocytes are immature eggs that are produced in the ovaries. They are not released from the ovaries until they mature into secondary oocytes. The fallopian tube is not involved in the production or maturation of oocytes. Option C: Secondary oocytes are mature eggs that are released from the ovaries. They travel down the fallopian tube to the uterus, where they can be fertilized by sperm. The fallopian tube is important for the transport of secondary oocytes to the uterus. Option D: Ova are not produced or matured in the fallopian tube. The fallopian tube is only involved in the transport of ova to the uterus.
