What is the term used for the release of eggs from an ovary?

Gestation
Ovulation
Fertilization
Menstruation

The correct answer is: Ovulation

The term used for the release of eggs from an ovary is ovulation. This biological process occurs as part of the menstrual cycle, where a mature egg is released from the ovarian follicle into the fallopian tube, making it available for fertilization. Ovulation typically occurs mid-cycle and is a crucial aspect of reproduction, as it enables the possibility of conception if sperm are present. Understanding ovulation is fundamental in studies related to reproductive biology and animal care since it impacts breeding practices and timing in various species.
