Answer

Ovulation is the release of an egg from the ovary.

Step-by-step solution

3 steps

  1. An egg matures within a follicle in the ovary.

  2. Hormonal changes, particularly a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH), trigger the rupture of the follicle.

  3. The mature egg is released from the ovary and enters the fallopian tube, where it can be fertilized by sperm.

    This process typically occurs once per menstrual cycle, around the midpoint.
