Question

What is ovulation? When does it occur in females? (3 mark question)

Answer 1

Ovulation is when a mature egg is released from the ovary, pushed down the fallopian tube, and is made available to be fertilized.

Approximately every month an egg will mature within one of the ovaries. As it reaches maturity, the egg is released by the ovary where it enters the fallopian tube to make its way towards waiting for sperm and the uterus.If no conception occurs, the uterine lining, as well as blood, will be shed
