It also requires that the tube is perfectly permeable, and its open end in the abdomen, called flag, could attract the oocyte during ovulation. Folds arranged inside the tube and fine movements of the tube itself then allows the oocyte to progress in the trunk to meet the sperm. The oocyte is indeed unable, unlike the sperm to travel alone.
