  2. Ovary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovary

    The ovaries are uncovered in the peritoneal cavity but are tethered to the body wall via the suspensory ligament of the ovary, which is a posterior extension of the broad ligament of the uterus. The part of the broad ligament of the uterus that covers the ovary is known as the mesovarium .

  3. Female reproductive system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_reproductive_system

    The fallopian tubes are two tubes leading from the ovaries into the uterus. On maturity of an ovum, the follicle and the ovary's wall rupture, allowing the ovum to escape and enter the fallopian tube. There it travels toward the uterus, pushed along by movements of cilia on the inner lining of the tubes. This trip takes hours or days.

    Since the scrotum, where the testes is present, is situated outside the body cavity, it provides a temperature about 3 °C below normal body temperature. In females, gametogenesis is known as oogenesis; this occurs in the ovarian follicles of the ovaries. This process does not produce mature ovum until puberty.

  5. Egg cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_cell

    In all mammals, the ovum is fertilized inside the female body. Human ova grow from primitive germ cells that are embedded in the substance of the ovaries. [10] The ovum is one of the largest cells in the human body, typically visible to the naked eye without the aid of a microscope or other magnification device. [11]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transvaginal_oocyte_retrieval

    Transvaginal oocyte retrieval (TVOR), also referred to as oocyte retrieval (OCR), is a technique used in in vitro fertilization (IVF) in order to remove oocytes from an ovary, enabling fertilization outside the body. [1]

    In animals (including humans), the male sex organs include the testicles, epididymides, and penis; the female sex organs include the clitoris, ovaries, oviducts, and vagina. The testicle in the male and the ovary in the female are called the primary sex organs. [1] All other sex-related organs are known as secondary sex organs.

  9. Oogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oogenesis

    In such cases, ovarian hyperstimulation is not essential. Rather, oocytes can mature outside the body prior to IVF. Hence, no (or at least a lower dose of) gonadotropins have to be injected in the body. [21] Immature eggs have been grown until maturation in vitro at a 10% survival rate, but the technique is not yet clinically available. [22]
