fallopian tube ciliated cell

^ http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/CL_4030007


An epithelial ciliated cell that is part of the fallopian tube. This cell type is found mainly on the apex of the mucosal folds and contributes, together with peristaltic contractions, to the self-propulsion of spermatozoa, the transport of ovum during ovulation and the transport of the fertilized ovum to the intramural fallopian tube. A fallopian tube ciliated cell has a columnar shape and contains an oval or round nucleus, often located perpendicular or parallel to the long axis of the cell.
