The process of an egg cell being released from the ovary is called ovulation. During ovulation, a mature egg is expelled from the ovarian follicle and travels down the fallopian tube, where it may encounter sperm for fertilization. This event is a key part of the menstrual cycle and typically occurs approximately midway through the cycle. Ovulation is essential for reproduction, as it enables the possibility of conception.
The combining form "oö-" means egg.
Oocyte. The word has three syllables, which led to the old spelling "oöcyte". The dieresis over the second 'o' indicates that it is pronounced separately from the preceding vowel.
A zygote is the cell that forms from sexual reproduction when a sperm cell fertilizes an egg cell. The zygote carries a unique combination of genetic material from both parents and has the potential to develop into a new individual.
