place. Dividing exponentially by 2, 4, 8, 16, etc., the cells gradually come
to form a small cluster; moving together with unsuccessful sperm cells, it
goes slowly from the fallopian tube towards the uterus.
If you magnify the fallopian tube and examine what happens in it,
you will see what appears to be the bottom of the ocean. This cluster of
cells can continue on its way because of the undulating movement in the
fallopian tube. This movement, which had assured the fertilisation of the
egg by pushing the sperm towards it, this time carries the egg to the ute-
rus. Small hairs (cilia) found on the surface of the cells of the fallopian tu-
be move in the same direction. In this way, they carry the egg cell as if

When we look at the motion in the fallopian tube, we get the impression that we are looking
at the bottom of the ocean. (small picture) The tiny hairs in the fallopian tube (above) make
an undulating motion, which helps the egg move towards the uterus.
