Question

Normally, fertilization takes place in the upper third of the _______.
A) cervix
B) ovary
C) uterine tube
D) uterus

Accepted Answer

The uterine tube, also known as fallopian tube, is where fertilization usually occurs. Sperm meets the egg in the ampulla of the uterine tube, which is located in the upper third of the tube. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus, the ovary releases the egg but does not usually participate in fertilization, and the uterus is where the fertilized egg implants and develops into a fetus.
