Fertilisation in humans takes place inside the female body.

Millions of sperms are deposited inside the female reproductive tract (vagina) is called insemination.

The sperms then pass through the uterus and reach the oviducts of the female body where fertilisation i.e., fusion of sperm and egg takes place.
