Question

The total number of each product by the healthy human female during life time

Answer 1

i  did not know the answer but would have guessed a few thousand – the one we release each month during the reproductive years plus a bunch more for good measure. Thanks to smart phones, we soon learned it’s much much more than that…. in fact, we lose a thousand eggs every month. Wow!

It is commonly believed that, unlike men who produce billions of sperm throughout their lifetime, women are born with a finite number of eggs. At birth, a baby girl has 1 to 2 million immature ‘eggs’ but she loses most of them through a process called ovarian follicle atresia so that by the time she hits puberty, she will only have some 300,000 to 400,000 left. Throughout her reproductive life, from puberty until menopause, about 400 follicles will attain ovulation with an estimated 250,000 follicles lost by atresia at a rate of about 1,000 follicles per month. Of these thousand eggs, only about 20 mature each month and only one of those is released. Once released, it is picked up by the fallopian tube and transported toward the uterus where, if sexual intercourse takes place around this time, the egg and sperm may join and we have fertilization. And then you may end up in my class.
