Detailed explanation-1: -Ampulla: The major channel in your fallopian tube, located in-between the infundibulum and the isthmus. Fertilization most often takes place in the ampulla.
Detailed explanation-2: -During fertilization, the sperm and egg unite in one of the fallopian tubes to form a zygote. Then the zygote travels down the fallopian tube, where it becomes a morula. Once it reaches the uterus, the morula becomes a blastocyst. The blastocyst then burrows into the uterine lining-a process called implantation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sperm travels from isthmus to ampulla. Egg is collected by the fimbriae of the infundibulum. Egg is pushed by ciliated columnar epithelial cells to the ampullary region. Fertilisation takes place in the ampullary region of the fallopian tube.
Detailed explanation-4: -While many think fertilization occurs in the ovary, it actually takes place in the fallopian tube just outside the ovary.
Detailed explanation-5: -Fertilization normally occurs in the ampullary portion of the tube. The infundibulum is the distal trumpet-shaped portion of the oviduct.
