The human female gonads are ovaries. A maturing egg in the ovary is present in a sac of cells called follicle(1). As the egg grows larger, the follicle enlarges and gets filled with a fluid and is now called the Graafian (2) follicle. The process of releasing the egg from the ovary is called ovulation (3). The ovum is picked up by the oviductal funnel and fertilization takes place in the fallopian tube (4). In about a week the blastocyst gets fixed in the endometrium of the uterus and this process is called implantation (5).
