It curves over the ovary, and is the primary site of fertilization. [12] The ampulla contains a large number of ciliated epithelial cells. [10]

Intra-ampullary papillary–tubular neoplasms (IAPN) are precancerous neoplasms of the ampulla of Vater. [1] On histological examination the neoplasms exhibit both papillary and tubular features. [2] IAPN were first described in 2010. [1] They are rare; comprising 0.5% of gastrointestinal tumours. [1]
The path is as follows: bile canaliculi → canals of Hering → interlobular bile ducts → intrahepatic bile ducts → left and right hepatic ducts merge to form → common hepatic duct exits liver and joins → cystic duct (from gall bladder) forming → common bile duct → joins with pancreatic duct → forming ampulla of Vater → enters ...
Human fertilization is the union of an egg and sperm, occurring primarily in the ampulla of the fallopian tube. [1] The result of this union leads to the production of a fertilized egg called a zygote, initiating embryonic development. Scientists discovered the dynamics of human fertilization in the 19th century. [2]
