Practice Question
After teaching a group of adolescents about female reproductive anatomy, the nurse determines that the teaching was successful when the adolescents identify which structure as the site of fertilization?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Fallopian tubes
Rationale:
🟢Fertilization typically occurs in the ampulla of the fallopian tube, where the sperm meets the ovum after ovulation.
🟢The tubal environment supports capacitation and acrosomal reactions, enabling sperm to penetrate the zona pellucida.
🟢The resulting zygote begins cleavage while traveling down the tube toward the uterus.
🟢The uterus is the site of implantation, not fertilization, and the vagina/vestibule are not conducive to gamete fusion.
🟢Understanding location is key to recognizing ectopic pregnancies, which often implant abnormally in the tube.
