Explanation
In human females, fertilization typically occurs in the fallopian tubes, also known as the oviducts. The process begins with the release of an egg (ovum) from one of the ovaries during ovulation. The released egg then travels through the fallopian tube. If sexual intercourse has taken place and sperm are present in the female reproductive tract, fertilization can occur in the fallopian tube.
