Where is the egg fertilized in body?

The egg is fertilized in the fallopian tube, specifically in the ampulla, which is the widest part of the tube.

Here's how it happens:

1. Ovulation: An egg is released from the ovary and enters the fallopian tube.

2. Sperm Travel: Sperm travel from the vagina through the cervix and uterus to the fallopian tube.

3. Fertilization: If sperm encounter the egg in the fallopian tube, one sperm will penetrate the egg's outer layer, fertilizing it.

4. Zygote Formation: The fertilized egg, now called a zygote, begins to divide and travel down the fallopian tube towards the uterus.

It's important to note that fertilization can only occur in the fallopian tube. If the egg is not fertilized within 24 hours of ovulation, it will disintegrate.
