The egg matures in the ovaries of a female organism. In humans and many other mammals, this process occurs within the ovarian follicles, where the egg, or oocyte, develops and undergoes maturation. Once matured, the egg is released during ovulation and can be fertilized if sperm are present. In birds and reptiles, the egg continues to develop in the reproductive tract before being laid.
The follicle typically matures into an egg during ovulation, which occurs around the midpoint of the menstrual cycle. Hormonal changes trigger the release of the mature egg from the ovary into the fallopian tube, where it may be fertilized by sperm.
It enters the oviduct
The egg is broken into pieces (disintegrates) and is discharged as menstrual flow
The mature egg is released from the ovary during ovulation and travels through the fallopian tube towards the uterus. If the egg is fertilized by sperm along the way, it may implant in the uterus and develop into a pregnancy. If not fertilized, the egg will disintegrate and be shed during menstruation.
A female's fertilized egg spends the majority of time in the uterus. This is where the egg will mature and grow.
a mature human egg is called an ova
a mature human egg is called an ova
fertilized egg
It will form an Ovum.... or an egg....
Ovaries release mature eggs

1 mature egg. The remaining 3 cells produced by meiosis are non-functional and are called polar bodies. They are much smaller than the egg, i.e. the egg took all or their cytoplasm during the divisions

sperm needs to mature enough to reach the egg to form zygote
