Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of ovulation, the release of a mature ovum/oocyte from an ovary. The process, occurring above the cellular level, that is pertinent to the reproductive function of a multicellular organism. This includes the integrated processes at the level of tissues and organs. A biological process that directly contributes to the process of producing new individuals by one or two organisms. The new individuals inherit some proportion of their genetic material from the parent or parents. Any biological process, occurring at the level of a multicellular organism, pertinent to its function. The generation and maintenance of gametes in a multicellular organism. A gamete is a haploid reproductive cell. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of ovulation, the release of a mature ovum/oocyte from an ovary. The process leading to the rupture of the follicle, releasing the centrally located oocyte into the oviduct. An example of this is found in Mus musculus. Generation of the female gamete; specialised haploid cells produced by meiosis and along with a male gamete takes part in sexual reproduction. The release of a mature ovum/oocyte from an ovary. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of ovulation, the release of a mature ovum/oocyte from an ovary. The biological process by which new individuals are produced by one or two multicellular organisms. The new individuals inherit some proportion of their genetic material from the parent or parents.
