Study Notes

Female Germ Cells

Around 1-2 million female germ cells are present in the ovary at birth.
During childhood, most oocytes undergo atresia, a process of degeneration and resorption.
At puberty, the approximate total number of female germ cells in the ovary is around 300,000-400,000.

Spermatogenesis

The process of spermatogenesis and spermiogenesis takes around 64-74 days.

Prenatal Development

In the fifth month of prenatal development, the total number of female germ cells in the ovary is around 2 million.
