- 1卵、卵子（ovum 的複數；生物／醫學用語）
Ova is the plural of . An is an egg cell — the kind of egg inside a female body, not the kind you eat for breakfast. In humans the ovaries usually release one at a time; if a sperm cell meets it, a baby can start to grow. Doctors and biology teachers say / ova; everyday English often just says egg or egg cell, and that is fine in class too. Because the plural comes from Latin, careful science writing does not add a normal English -s and say . One , two ova. You will almost only see this word in health and biology. It is not a kitchen word, and it is not the same as oval, which is a shape.
