• A. Endometrium
• B. Interstitial cells
• C. Follicle
• D. Oviduct

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

• When a mature egg leaves the ovary, it enters the oviduct.

When an ovum is released from the ovary, it is taken up by oviduct, which is also called a Fallopian tube; through its funnel-shaped opening. The ovum is passed down the duct and into the uterus, which passes it out of the body through the vagina. The ovum is very small and, therefore, hardly noticeable.

Every 28 days, one of the ovaries releases an ovum. The Fallopian tubes, or oviducts, are a pair of thin tubes that lead from the ovaries to the uterus. Each Fallopian tube has a funnel-shaped opening near the ovary. It is lined by cilia. The movement of the cilia helps conduct the ovum down the Fallopian tube and into the uterus.

• The endometrium is the inner epithelial layer, along with its mucous membrane, of the mammalian uterus. It has a basal layer and a functional layer.
• Interstitial cell refers to any cell that lies between other cells. Examples include Interstitial cells of male testes responsible for the production of androgen (male sex hormone).
