The egg is liberated from the ovary in_____.

Secondary oocyte stage:

1. On either side of the uterus are two ovaries.
2. Eggs and hormones like progesterone and estrogen are produced by the ovaries.
3. These hormones influence feminine characteristics such as breast development, body shape, and body hair.
4. The oocyte has now entered the second stage of meiotic cell division.
5. The secondary oocyte will eventually split into two distinct cells: another small polar body cell and a bigger mature cell.
6. This larger mature cell is referred to as an ootid.
7. The smaller polar body cell, as before, will eventually degenerate.
8. A follicle matures, and its primary oocyte (follicle) resumes meiosis to generate a secondary follicle.
9. During ovulation, the follicle ruptures and the oocyte exits the ovary.

Final answer: The egg is liberated from the ovary in the secondary oocyte stage.
