Description: This 3D medical animation was accepted into the 2010 SIGGRAPH computer animation Festival, and contains alternate voice over and background music composed by Daniel Brown. Ovulation is the first stage in the process of conception to birth. The animation depicts in exquisite detail: follicle development within the ovary, the movement of the fimbriae over the ovulation site before ovulation, the bursting of the egg from the ovary in a rush of fluid, delicate quality of the ciliated fimbriae and its movement to pick up the egg after ovulation, peristalsis of the fallopian tube to move the egg toward the uterus.
