libération d'un ovocyte par l'ovaire
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.

L'ovulation est la libération d'un ovocyte par l'ovaire. Cet événement est important pour la reproduction, en effet, l'ovocyte et le spermatozoïde formeront, lors de la fécondation, la première cellule de l'embryon. Lors de l'ovulation c'est un ovocyte et non un ovule qui est libéré. La différence est due au stade de différenciation de la cellule. L'ovocyte est expulsé à partir de l'un des follicules ovariens, ce qui représente l'étape finale du développement folliculaire avant l'ovulation.
