Fertilization normally occures in the uterine tube within a day after ovulation. Sperm cannot fertilize an egg until they have undergone "Capacitation".

Capacitation occures after the spermatozoa(1) miz with secretions of the seminal vesicles and (2) are exposed to conditions inside the female reproductive tract. The epididymis secretes a substance that prevents premature capacitation.
