== Ovulation==
== Ovulation==
* Number of ovulations varies with species, mostly lay one clutch a year.
* Infundibulum catches the oocyte, facillitated by the left abdominal air sac which tightly encloses the ovary.
* Once ovulation has taken place, the follicle shrinks and regresses.
* '''No corpus luteum''' remains, as there is no developing embryo to maintain.
