What does a woman's egg look like?

The creation of life is a very wonderful process, like the meeting of sperm and egg in a frog, which then turns into sperm and egg fusion. Have you ever wondered what an egg cell looks like? Let’s unveil the mysterious mask of egg cells today.

What does an egg look like?

24 hours before life comes into being. Ovum lives in every woman's body. It cannot be seen, touched or felt. If we were to describe an egg cell, nothing could be more appropriate than a jellyfish - a jellyfish full of maternal charm, the largest cell in the body. The egg cell looks like a round and smooth sphere, and under a high-power microscope, it looks more like a beautiful and ethereal star.

The perfect egg cell is discharged from the surface of the ovary to break through the follicle that encapsulates the surface of the egg cell. The egg cell discharged from the mature follicle is about 20mm in size and is surrounded by many granulosa cells. These granulosa cells are arranged radially on the outermost layer of the egg, so it is also called the radiating corona. Towards the inside are the zona pellucida, the extravitelline cavity, and the vitelline membrane. During the growth period, there is usually a mature follicle that grows to a diameter of 18 to 25 mm in about a month.

How many egg cells are there?

When a woman is still a fetus, the initial number of eggs is 7 million. When a baby girl is born, the number of breast milk drops from 7 million to 2 million. When she reaches puberty, there are only 500,000 breast milk left in her uterus and ovaries, which are like the intima of a girl. When she becomes an adult, there are more than 100,000 breast milk left, and the rest decline on their own. When a woman's tides fluctuate every month, which primitive cell will grow and mature and slowly swim into the uterus? Only the Creator knows this.

After understanding the egg cells, we know that the number of egg cells discharged by women in their lifetime is not as many as the sperm of men. With the increase of age, the egg cell will be relatively reduced, and the survival time of the egg cell is not as long as that of the sperm. Therefore, female friends must protect their bodies and get pregnant during the best growth period.
