Which structure is responsible for transporting the egg from the ovary to the uterus?

The oviduct, also known as the fallopian tube, is the structure responsible for transporting the egg from the ovary to the uterus. After ovulation, when the egg is released from the ovary, it enters the oviduct. This is a critical pathway as it is in the oviduct where fertilization typically occurs if sperm are present. The oviducts have cilia—tiny hair-like structures—that help move the egg along toward the uterus.

The bladder, uterus, and cervix serve different functions in the reproductive system. The bladder stores urine, while the uterus is the organ where a fertilized egg would implant and develop during pregnancy. The cervix acts as the lower part of the uterus and is involved in the passage of sperm into the uterus as well as the exit of menstrual fluid. Each of these structures plays an important role, but only the oviduct is responsible for the transport of the egg from the ovary to the uterus.
