Where do eggs come from in a woman's body and how are they involved in the reproductive process?

Eggs are produced in a woman's ovaries. During the menstrual cycle, an egg is released from the ovary and travels through the fallopian tube. If the egg is fertilized by sperm, it can implant in the uterus and develop into a pregnancy. If the egg is not fertilized, it is shed during menstruation. This process is essential for reproduction.
