MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Fertilization happens in your fallopian tubes when an egg and sperm meet. An active passageway that moves a fertilized egg to your uterus: A fertilized egg (embryo) travels through your fallopian tubes until it reaches your uterus, where it can grow into a fetus.

Detailed explanation-2: -A pregnancy starts with fertilization, when a woman’s egg joins with a man’s sperm. Fertilization usually takes place in a fallopian tube that links an ovary to the uterus. If the fertilized egg successfully travels down the fallopian tube and implants in the uterus, an embryo starts growing.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sperm may be guided to the oocyte by a combination of thermotaxis and chemotaxis. Motility hyperactivation assists sperm in penetrating mucus in the tubes and the cumulus oophorus and zona pellucida of the oocyte, so that they may finally fuse with the oocyte plasma membrane.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your fimbriae allow your ovaries and your fallopian tubes to work in sync. Your ovaries produce an egg, and your fimbriae usher that egg into your fallopian tubes at the exact right moment. Once inside your fallopian tubes, an egg can become fertilized if you have intercourse and a sperm reaches it.
