Answers:

pelvic muscles??


By allowing the egg to thrive and undamagingly be transported through the tube.

If the egg is fertilized but doesn't or can't migrate to the uterus, it can grounds a tubal (or ectopic) pregnancy, which can organize to rupture - a potentially dicey condition requiring, in most cases, surgery.

Breast lump?

Are you sure it's feint near mucus? I KNOW it is crinkly beside MUCOSA - this is what every surface of the body is wrinkled beside and surrounded by the different places the mucosa is structured differently according to the function of that part of the pack of the body.

Have a look at the wiki page nearly fallopian tubes. The facing (mucosa) is fundamentally specialized next to cilia - little fingery projections that assistance go by the ovum along the tube so it can next be fertilized and finish up surrounded by the uterus.
