Have you
ever seen a human egg?! Don’t worry human ovulation has been caught on camera
for the first time.
Gynaecologist
Dr Jacques Donnez spotted it in progress during a hysterectomy (A surgical
removal of uterus). They belonged to a 45-year-old Belgian woman.
The images,
which have been released by New Scientist magazine, have been described as a
"fascinating insight" into "the beginnings of life".
The reddish
swelling seen in the image is a follicle, from which the egg is released prior
to its journey up the Fallopian tubes to the womb.
Professor
Alan McNeilly, from the Medical Research Council's Human Reproduction Unit in
Edinburgh, told "It really is a pivotal moment in the whole process, the
beginnings of life in a way.
