(17) Thus whilst it is undeniable that the foetus plays a certain role in the dynamics of the amniotic fluid by swallowing and urinary excretion, these phenomena are minimal in relation to exchanges through the ovular membranes.

(20) Premature breaking of the membranes carries with it a serious risk of immediate or delayed ovular infection which compromises the prognosis.
Ovule
Definition:
(n.) The rudiment of a seed. It grows from a placenta, and consists of a soft nucleus within two delicate coatings. The attached base of the ovule is the hilum, the coatings are united with the nucleus at the chalaza, and their minute orifice is the foramen.
(n.) An ovum.
Example Sentences:
