Human Ovary oocyte number from embryo to adult

The graph shows the changes in human germ cell numbers in the ovary with age, peaking at about 7 million (occuring in early fetal development) and then decreasing by apopotic cell death.

At puberty there remain only about 400,000 and only about 10% of these will be released through reproductive life.
