Egg cells, or oocytes, are created in the ovaries of females through a process called oogenesis. This process begins before birth when primordial germ cells develop into primary oocytes, which remain in a dormant state until puberty. Each menstrual cycle, a few primary oocytes resume development, but typically only one matures into a secondary oocyte, which is released during ovulation. The remaining oocytes degenerate or undergo atresia.
