The Path Traveled by the Egg

1. The egg travels through the fallopian tubes after being released from the ovaries.
2. The fertilized egg contains DNA/genetic material from both parents.
3. The egg is surrounded by a cloud of support cells.
4. These hairs, called cilia, move the egg along towards the uterus.
5. It takes the egg 3-4 days to travel five inches along fallopian tube.
6. The egg must join with the sperm within 24 hours in order for conception to
take place. If no sperm is present, the egg disintegrates.
