Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fertilization of the ovum typically occurs in the ampulla of the fallopian tubes, which is the widest part of the tubes and provides an optimal environment for fertilization to occur. The fimbriae of the fallopian tubes help guide the released ovum into the tube, and the os (opening) of the fallopian tubes connects to the uterus. However, fertilization does not usually occur in the uterus or at the os of the fallopian tubes.
