NEET PG DENTAL EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -A woman’s entire egg supply is developed when she is still an unborn baby. At the start of puberty, the eggs are ripened inside the ovary and one is released every month. Each egg contains genetic material. At menopause, the ovaries stop making hormones and eggs are no longer ripened or released.

Detailed explanation-2: -As a prepubescent female, approximately 10, 000 eggs will degenerate and “die” each month. That means by the time a woman reaches puberty, they only have 300, 000-400, 000 eggs left in their ovaries .

Detailed explanation-3: -You’re born with all the eggs you’ll ever produce. During fetal development, you have about 6 million eggs. At birth, there are approximately 1 million eggs left. By the time you reach puberty, only about 300, 000 remain.

Detailed explanation-4: -During her reproductive lifespan, only about 500 of a woman’s eggs are ovulated. The remaining eggs that are left behind die out during menopause. Prior to menopause, women typically lose a thousand or so eggs every month. Egg death is a natural part of the cycle of the female reproductive system.
