Today we bring some curious facts about human reproduction in figures. A vision very different from what we usually deal with, with surprising data, such as those that refer to everything that can happen in the world in just one minute.
-All men together produce 7,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 sperm in 60 seconds.
-Ovulate a million women.
-60,000 men ejaculate
-500 women get pregnant.
-260 women have a baby.
-200 fertilized eggs are lost due to natural causes.
- 40 women abort voluntarily.
Other curious facts about ejaculation and reproductive organs of men and women They are as follows:
- In an ejaculation, an amount of semen is expelled that oscillates between 1.5 and 6 milliliters, and about 100 million sperm.
- The force of muscle contractions propels them at a speed of 18 kilometers per hour. The ejaculated semen reaches a maximum distance of 90 centimeters.
- Each testicle weighs 25 grams.
- The scrotum that surrounds the testicles keeps them 1.3 degrees Celsius below body temperature to provide the ideal temperature for sperm.
- The testicles are two, although abnormally there may be only one testicle due to the absence of the development of the other. When both testicles are missing, it is called an anomaly.
- The ovaries are the size of an almond about 3 centimeters and weighing about 6 to 7 grams.
- In the woman's life cycle, between puberty and menopause, during her fertile life, 500 to 600 ovules are expelled from the ovary.
These are just some figures on human reproduction that bring us closer to the most objective and pragmatic side of a whole system and process that, despite its numerical clarity, still seems to me to have some magic.
