  • UPDATE: There is an updated version of this animation! Check it out here: • Ovulation
    Ovulation is the part of the menstrual cycle where the ovary releases an egg to be fertilized during conception, or sloughed off during a woman's period. This 3D medical animation depicts in exquisite detail: follicle development within the ovary, the movement of the fimbriae over the ovulation site before ovulation, the bursting of the egg from the ovary in a rush of fluid, delicate quality of the ciliated fimbriae and its movement to pick up the egg after ovulation, peristalsis of the fallopian tube to move the egg toward the uterus. Ovulation must take place in order for a woman to get pregnant, preceding the meeting of the male sperm during fertilization.

    Transcript:
    Ovulation is a part of the menstrual cycle when the ovary releases a ripe egg, or ovum.
    Inside the ovary are hundreds of thousands of follicles. Each follicle is a hollow ball of cells with an immature egg in the center.
    The typical 28-day menstrual cycle begins on the first day of menstrual bleeding.
    During the first 7 days of the cycle, a few follicles begin to grow at the same time.
    These maturing follicles secrete estrogen hormone into the blood stream to prepare the lining of the uterus for pregnancy.
    Around Day 7, all of the follicles stop growing and begin to degenerate except for one.
    This dominant follicle continues to grow and nourishes the developing egg inside it.
    Around Day 12, the follicle secretes a large amount of estrogen into the blood stream.
    When the estrogen reaches the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland in the brain, the anterior or front part of the pituitary gland releases a huge surge of luteinizing hormone into the blood stream.
    Around day 14, luteinizing hormone causes the follicle to undergo a sudden growth spurt.
    Right before ovulation, the egg detaches from the inside of the follicle.
    The bulging follicle releases chemicals, causing one of the two fallopian tubes to move in closer and surround the follicle.
    The follicle swells until... it bursts open, ejecting the egg and fluid from the follicle into the abdominal cavity.
    In response, the fimbriae, tiny projections at the end of the fallopian tube, sweep across the ovulation site and pick up the egg.
    Microscopic cilia on the fimbriae's surface transport the egg to the entrance of the fallopian tube.
    Inside the walls of the fallopian tube, muscular contractions gently push the egg toward the uterus.
    After ovulation, the egg lives for 12-24 hours, so it must be fertilized by a sperm from the male during this time for a woman to become pregnant.
    If it is not fertilized, the egg dissolves away and is shed along with the uterine lining during menstruation.

      Kelsey C Nothing is TMI between those who own uteruses. I feel like a fucking sludge factory every. fucking. month. This month, however, it's been cranked up to a deluge! And I'm experiencing that same back pain & cramps as my menstrual cycle, which mean my cycle will be BRUTAL. Ugh. I'll never be prepared for this shit.

    @davinrobinson1 Thanks for your comment. Just to be clear: **fertilization** of the egg by the sperm normally happens in the fallopian tube, not the ovary. If the sperm goes to the ovary, it has gone past the egg into the abdominal cavity. What you might be thinking of is implantation, which must occur in the uterine lining and not the fallopian tube. If an egg implants in the fallopian tube, it is called an ectopic pregnancy and poses great risks for the mother and the fetus.

    @nucleusmedicalmedia  11 років тому +236

    Yes. Some women feel the same pain when they ovulate, and there's a name for it: "mittelshmerz" (pronounced mit uhl shmairts). It's a German word meaning "middle pain."

  • @emilybella1629
    @emilybella1629 7 років тому +486

    This is simply amazing. We never stop and think about what our bodies are doing, and how they work to ensure producing new life. All the muscular contractions and the hormone going to the pituitary gland all happens inside us and we aren't even aware of it. It's true, that our bodies do take care of themselves without us even trying. It's divine.

    Amazing.. we are amongst the lucky ovum tht got fertilized.. since ovum lives for 12 -24 hours only

    This is brilliant. I'm writing an exam tomorrow about the menstrual cycle and this has given me so much insight towards the theory I've studied.

  • @nucleusmedicalmedia

    @neuroxik The unfertilized eggs are released from the ovaries into the woman's abdominal cavity and are eventually broken down by specialized cells called phagocytes.

  • @nucleusmedicalmedia
    @nucleusmedicalmedia  12 років тому +66

    Great question! An egg usually survives for no more than 24 hours after ovulation. So, if sexual activity (without contraception) occurs 24 hours after ovulation, it is unlikely pregnancy will occur.
    HOWEVER, if sexual activity occurs 3-4 days before ovulation, it is possible for sperm to survive in the reproductive tract that entire time, and pregnancy is possible. Hope that answers your question. For more information on planning a pregnancy, ask your doctor.

    It's a nice point to recognise that the ovum is albeit briefly, ejected into the body cavity. Another shared feature with some of our vertebrate cousins. Mammals such as ourselves have a specialised anatomy to give shelter to the ovum for its development.

    subtract 17 from her average cycle length. ex: 28-17 = 11, ovulation occurs around the 14th day, but since sperm can survive for more than a day then yes there is a possibility of fertilization.

    could you guys please do something for college students? I'm in bio101 & my professor is basically an idiot. I find your videos VERY informative opposed to his poor excuse for diagrams and notes. I am more than willing to email you guys the notes & material to show you what I have to deal with in this class. I don't care if you degrade the quality by a lot,or have watermarks all across.. ANYTHING will be better than these notes & it would sure help my grade. Your ch inspired me to enroll :)

    Us girls each month complain and starts to talk shit and be angry about our periods but do we actually take a second to think what your body is doing?how it's working? how it's preparing for a pregnancy? or simply that you are a productive woman? dont think about it in an ugly immature gross way as i used to do or just someday you'll understand what i mean :)

    @rcollins305 The egg "dies" on average between 12-24 hours after ovulation. Therefore there is no longer an egg there to fertilize 2 days later. Optimal timing for intercourse when trying to conceive is the day before and the day of ovulation.

    @Girlyfreak8989 the egg is fertilised in the Fallopian tube, just not implanted there. After fertilisation the fertilised egg is carried to the uterus for implantation. For ectopic pregnancies the egg is implanted in the Fallopian tube or any place other than the superior part of the uterus.
