reproductive systems are laid bare to the camera, and there is so much
to explore and absorb that Nova's expert guidance is much needed and appreciated.
The viewer follows an egg from its follicular development in an ovary,
through the delicate, flowery fallopian tube for fertilization, and on
to the uterus for development and eventual birth. Likewise, we follow
the shorter journey of millions of sperm as they develop and strive mightily
to reach the egg.

of 30 years (1964-1994) of painstaking exploration and documentation.
