Ovum

The Latin word for “egg,” it refers to a human egg that carries the female half of the DNA that will make up a fetus should the egg become fertilized by a sperm.  If there is no sperm present, an egg will not be fertilized and will not attach to the wall of a girl or woman’s uterus and it will leave her body along the lining during her period.
