Introduction:

Theovarian cycle explains changes in ovary follicles. The ovarian cycle controls the release of eggs and endocrine tissue preparation. It is also called an endometrial cycle. It occurs from puberty to menopause. It is a cycle of cyclical changes occurring in a woman's reproductive tract with a periodicity of 28 days.

Ovulation is the discharge of eggs from the ovaries into the fallopian tube. It usually happens about 13-15 days before the start of each menses. This takes place when the ovarian follicles get rupture and discharge the secondary oocyte ovarian cells.
