1: Formation of Ovum
Ovary is the female gonad that produces the ovum. The process of formation of ovum is called oogenesis. This process occurs in multiple steps. The ovary consists of multiple cells called the follicles. Eventually these follicles form a mature follicle called the graafian follicle, that consists of the ovum.

When the concentration of luteinizing hormone reaches its peak, the graafian follicle ruptures and releases the ovum.The process of release of ovum from a mature follicle is called ovulation.
