Question

What is the function of uterine tube peg cells?
A) secretion of estrogen
B) secretion of progesterone
C) propel the oocyte to the uterus
D) secrete nutrient-rich fluid
E) secrete mucus

Accepted Answer

Peg cells are found in the lining of the uterine tubes and are responsible for secreting a fluid that provides nutrients to the sperm, egg, and zygote as they travel through the uterine tube. This nutrient-rich fluid is crucial for supporting the gametes and the early embryo before it reaches the uterus.
