ovulación
Also known as GO:0030728
Ovulation is an important part of the menstrual cycle in female vertebrates where the egg cells are released from the ovaries as part of the ovarian cycle. In female humans ovulation typically occurs near the midpoint in the menstrual cycle and after the follicular phase. Ovulation is stimulated by an increase in luteinizing hormone (LH). The ovarian follicles rupture and release the secondary oocyte ovarian cells.
AI overview
Ovulation is the release of egg cells from the ovaries, a key part of the menstrual cycle that typically happens around the middle of the cycle in women. This process, triggered by a surge in luteinizing hormone, is important because it makes pregnancy possible by releasing the egg that can be fertilized.

- Anatomy.Caption
- Following a surge of luteinizing hormone (LH), an oocyte (immature egg cell) will be released into the uterine tube, where it will then be available to be fertilized by a male's sperm within 12 hours. Ovulation marks the end of the follicular phase of the ovarian cycle, and the start of the luteal phase.

La ovulación u ovocitación es uno de los procesos del ciclo ovárico de la mujer, en el cual un folículo ovárico maduro se rompe y libera un ovocito en el extremo de la trompa uterina, durante la fase ovulatoria o periodo periovulatorio. El óvulo libre, es el gameto femenino y podrá alcanzar la fecundación hasta las 12 o 48 horas siguientes a su liberación. En la mayoría de las mujeres, la ovulación se produce cuatro días antes o cuatro días después de la mitad de su ciclo ovárico habitual.Las alteraciones de la ovulación, representan un porcentaje de los casos de infertilidad humana. La ovulación también ocurre dentro del ciclo estral de todas las restantes hembras de mamífero, aunque este proceso guarda diferencias sustanciales con el ciclo menstrual humano.
