Answer:
After ovulation the secondary oocyte enters into the uterine tube. The oocyte is transported through the tube into the uterus mainly as a result of smooth muscular cells of the tubal wall rhythmic contraction.
An additional mechanism to transport the oocyte are the cilia of epithelial cells of the uterine tube, which become highly ciliated short before ovulation because of hormonal influence.
This transport through the tube usually takes 3-4 days.
