Q:
How is the presence of cilia important in the fallopian tube?
A: The fallopian tube needs ciliated epithelium because unlike sperm, ovum aren't motile, so they need the help of cilia to propel it to the uterus.
Q:
What does the secretory material consist of?
A: Fructose, fibrinogen, vitamin C, prostaglandins.
