fertlization takes place in the fallopian tube... the fertilized egg is called zygote. // Edit: The Fallopian tubes contain the eggs. During ovulation, one of the tubes release an egg and it travels to the uterus (you can look up a diagram online). If there are sperm present in the uterus, fertilization can occur. Once the egg is fertilized it will attach to the uterine wall and begin developing into a fetus :)

Where does fertilization of an egg by sperm take place?

Fertilization of an egg by sperm typically occurs in the fallopian tubes of the female reproductive system. The sperm travels through the cervix and uterus to reach the egg in the fallopian tube, where fertilization takes place.


How long does the menstrual cycle last if fertilization does not take place?

The menstrual cycle typically lasts 28 days - but everyone's cycle is different. If fertilization does take place then there is no menstrual cycle, this would continue into pregnancy.


How do blocked oviducts prevent fertilisation taking place?

Blocked oviducts prevent fertilization from taking place by inhibiting the egg's ability to travel to the uterus for potential fertilization by sperm. It also hinders the passage of sperm to the egg, preventing the two from meeting and fertilization from occurring. Additionally, blocked oviducts can disrupt the normal process of fertilization and implantation, leading to infertility.


Does fertilisation take place during menstruation?

Fertilization typically occurs during ovulation when an egg is released from the ovary and is available to be fertilized by sperm. Menstruation is the shedding of the uterine lining if fertilization does not occur.


Can fertilization take place without pollination?

No, fertilization in plants typically occurs after pollination. Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the male reproductive organ to the female reproductive organ of the same or a different plant, leading to the eventual fertilization of the ovule. Therefore, pollination is a necessary step for fertilization to occur in most plants.
