👉 Epigamia is a term used in the study of human reproduction, specifically in the study of fertilization and implantation. It describes how the female gamete (egg or sperm) travels from an ovary to the uterus where it is fertilized by a male gamete known as the oocyte. Epigamia refers to the process by which the egg becomes implanted into the endometrium, the lining of the uterus, and begins its development into a pregnancy.
