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: -Fertilization of an egg by sperm normally occurs in the fallopian tubes. The fertilized egg then moves to the uterus, where it implants into your uterine lining.

Detailed explanation-3: -The life of mammals begins at fertilization when sperm and egg meet in the oviductal ampulla of the female reproductive tract. Gametic fusion begins with membrane binding and can be visualized by sperm internalization that happens within minutes to hours of gamete mixing.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
