What is the significance of ampullary-isthmic junction in the female reproductive tract?
The act of fertilisation takes place in the female genital track that is at the junction of the isthmus and ampulla (ampullary - isthmic junction) of the Fallopian tube.
Note: Fertilisation can only occur if the ovum and sperms are transported simultaneously to the ampullary - isthmic junction. All copulations do not lead to fertilisation and pregnancy.
