Best Answer

The normal non-pregnant uterus is behind the pubic bone, and its top edge can't be felt using just a hand on the outside.

What part of the female reproductive system does fertilization in humans normally occur?

Fertilization happens in the fallopian tubes.The fallopian tubes lie in the pelvic portion of the abdominal cavity and each tube reaches from an ovary to become the upper part of the uterus. This funnel-shaped tube is about three inches in length; it carries eggs and sperm, and is where fertilization of the egg takes place. The larger end of the funnel is divided into feathery, finger-like projections, which lie close to the ovary. These beating projections, along with muscle contractions, force the ovum down the funnel's small end, which opens into the uterus. After sexual intercourse, sperm swim up this funnel from the uterus. The lining of the tube and its secretions sustain both the egg and the sperm, encouraging fertilization and nourishing the egg until it reaches the uterus.
