Verified step by step guidance

Understand the role of the fallopian tubes in the female reproductive system. The fallopian tubes are responsible for receiving the ovulated oocyte from the ovary and providing a site for fertilization.

Recall the anatomy of the female reproductive system. The uterus is where the fertilized egg implants and develops into a fetus, but it is not the site of fertilization. The ovaries produce oocytes but do not receive them after ovulation.

Eliminate incorrect options based on their functions: The cervix is the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina and does not play a role in receiving the oocyte or fertilization.

Focus on the fallopian tubes, which have specialized structures like fimbriae that help guide the ovulated oocyte into the tube. Fertilization typically occurs in the ampulla region of the fallopian tube.

Conclude that the fallopian tubes are the correct answer because they are anatomically and functionally designed to receive the ovulated oocyte and provide the site for fertilization.
