whereby an ovum or egg is released from an ovary
The process by which an ovum is released from the ovary in humans is called ovulation. It occurs approximately midway through the menstrual cycle, triggered by a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH). During ovulation, a mature follicle ruptures, releasing the ovum into the fallopian tube, where it may be fertilized by sperm. This process is part of the broader ovarian cycle, which prepares the female body for potential pregnancy.
The Graffian Follicle in the ovary expels the secondary oocyte (mature ovum) into the peritoneum, where it is picked up by the fimbrae of the Fallopian tubes.
The process of a ripe ovum being released from the ovary is called ovulation. This typically occurs around the midpoint of the menstrual cycle and is a crucial step in reproduction, allowing the ovum to travel through the fallopian tube where it may encounter sperm for fertilization.
