GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Ovulation is a phase in the menstrual cycle when your ovary releases an egg (ovum). Once an egg leaves your ovary, it travels down your fallopian tube where it waits to be fertilized by sperm. On average, it happens on day 14 of a 28-day menstrual cycle.

Detailed explanation-2: -The ovaries are two oval-shaped organs that lie to the upper right and left of the uterus. They produce, store, and release eggs into the fallopian tubes in the process called ovulation (av-yoo-LAY-shun).

Detailed explanation-3: -Ovulation. When a young person reaches puberty, they begin to ovulate-a process in which a mature egg cell (also called an ovum) that is ready for fertilization by a sperm cell is released from one of the ovaries (two reproductive organs located in the pelvis).

Detailed explanation-4: -When the egg becomes fully mature, the follicle surrounding the egg bursts, and releases a mature egg which travels through the fallopian tube toward the uterus. The egg is capable of being fertilized for a short period, about 48 hours.

Detailed explanation-5: -Follicles in one of your ovaries start to mature between days 6 and 14 of your menstrual cycle. Around days 10 and 14, an egg develops from one of these follicles. This egg is then released from the ovary on day 14. Some women don’t give much thought to their menstrual cycle or track ovulation.
