If your ovum is not fertilised by a sperm, it will pass through the fallopian tube and disintegrate in the womb after 12-48 hours. Around 10 days later, the lining of the womb sloughs off and you have your period.

Is chicken egg a cell?

No. Chicken eggs are multi-cellular organisms.wrong .This is a common myth. An unfertilized bird egg contains a tiny egg cell, surrounded by supportive materials such as albumin, yolk and shell. Those supportive materials are not part of the ovum. It is erroneous to think of an entire egg (or chicken egg, or snake egg, etc) as a cell. The cell part itself is tiny (ovum) . If fertilization happens (it happens inside bird's body) sperm fuses with ovum and a zygote (a tiny single cell) forms and enclosed within bird's egg . cell division occurs only after egg has been laid.Read more: Is_a_chicken_egg_one_single_cell


What is an ovum and where is it developed?

In humans an ovum is an egg produced by a female, also called a female "gamete". It is what is fertilized by sperm (the male gamete) to form a zygote from which offspring develop. In humans the ovum is developed in the female's reproductive system, specifically in the ovaries. Women have an ovary on each side of their uterus in the pelvic area. There are Fallopian tubes (through which the egg is released) connecting each ovary and the uterus. If the ovum is fertilized, it will implant itself in the womb, or if unfertilized, it will be released with the woman's next menstrual period.

Trace the Path of an unfertilized egg from a follicle until it leaves the body?

On maturity of an ovum, the follicle and the ovary's wall rupture, allowing the ovum to escape and enter the Fallopian tube. There it travels toward the uterus, pushed along by movements of cilia on the inner lining of the tubes. This trip takes hours or days. If the ovum is fertilized while in the Fallopian tube, then it normally implants in the endometrium when it reaches the uterus, which signals the beginning of pregnancy.
