排卵

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.

排卵（はいらん）とは、成熟した卵胞が裂けて卵子（正確には卵母細胞）を放出する月経周期の過程であり、生殖に関与している。排卵は発情周期を持つ動物でも起こり、月経周期を持つ動物とは基礎的な部分に多くの違いがある。注：この記事では主にヒトの排卵について言及する。ヒト以外の排卵については結論で手短に述べる。
