Ovulation – Class 12 | Chapter – 3 | Biology Short Notes Series PDF
Ovulation: It is a phase in the menstrual cycle when your ovary releases an egg (ovum). Once an egg leaves your ovary, it travels down your fallopian tube where it waits to be fertilized by sperm. On average, it happens on day 14 of a 28-day menstrual cycle.

- Luteinizing hormone surges during this period causing ovulation to occur when the egg is mature.
