• Fertilization, or conception, is the process by which sperm and ovum—the male and
female gametes, or sex cells—combine to create a single cell called a zygote, which
then duplicates itself again and again by cell division to produce all the cells that make
up a baby.
• At birth, a female is believed to have about 2 million immature ova in her two ovaries,
each ovum in its own small sac, or follicle.
• In a sexually mature woman, ovulation occurs about once every 28 days until
menopause.
• After being expelled from the ovary, the ovum is swept along through one of the
fallopian tubes by tiny hair cells, called cilia, toward the uterus, or womb.
• Sperm are produced in the testicles (testes), or reproductive glands, of a mature male at
a rate of several hundred million a day and are ejaculated in the semen at sexual climax.
o Deposited in the vagina, they try to swim through the cervix (the opening of the
uterus) and into the fallopian tubes.
• Fertilization typically occurs while the ovum is passing through the fallopian tube.
• If fertilization does not occur, the sperm are absorbed by the woman’s white blood cells
and the ovum passes through the uterus and exits through the vagina.
B. Infertility
• The most common cause of infertility in men is a low sperm count or insufficiently
motile (capable of motion) sperm.
o A sperm count lower than 60 to 200 million per ejaculation makes conception
unlikely.
• In a woman, common causes of infertility include:
o The failure to produce eggs, or ova, or to the failure to produce normal ova
o Mucus in the cervix, which prevents sperm from penetrating it
o A disease of the uterine lining, which prevents implantation of the fertilized ovum
• A major cause of declining fertility in women after age 30 is deterioration in the quality
of ova.
• However, the most common cause is blockage of the fallopian tubes, which prevents
ova from reaching the uterus.
