In the fallopian tubes of a female's reproductive system

An immature egg (oocyte) is ejected from the ovaries through ovulation and is picked up by the fimbriae. The oocyte will enter the uterine tubes through the infundibulum and be pushed through by ciliated cells. The uterine tubes curve in an area called the ampulla, which is where fertilization takes place and a oocyte becomes a zygote.
