multiple choice
the outer layer of the tube is formed by the ampulla.
the opening of the uterine tube is the mesosalpinx.
fimbria are associated with the lining of the tube.
the portion of the uterine tube closest to the uterus is the infundibulum.
the oocyte is moved along the tube by peristaltic contractions of the muscular layer.

Explanation:

• The ampulla is a part of the uterine tube, not the outer layer.
• The opening of the uterine tube is the infundibulum, not the mesosalpinx.
• Fimbria are finger - like projections at the end of the infundibulum, not associated with the lining of the tube.
• The portion closest to the uterus is the isthmus, not the infundibulum.
• The oocyte is moved along the tube by peristaltic contractions of the muscular layer.

Answer:

The oocyte is moved along the tube by peristaltic contractions of the muscular layer.
