Question

Define Ovulation.

Answer 1

Ovulation is the process of releasing the matured egg or ovum from the mature follicle in the ovary on stimulation with the hormone LH (luteinizing hormone). This process occurs every month. There is a release of only one egg after the rupture of the mature Graafian follicle. This egg is ready for fertilization and travels to the ampulla region in the fallopian tube.
