Question

Ovulation in female human beings stops approximately around the age of
a) 45 - 50
b) 23 - 25
c) 80 - 90
d) 10 - 15

Answer 1

Hint: Ovulation occurs during puberty where the mature eggs from the ovary are released into the fallopian tube from where they reach the uterus. If the egg gets fertilized then the uterus prepares itself for implantation. If it doesn’t get fertilized then the egg along with the lining of the uterus gets removed during menstruation.

Complete answer:
Ovulation period in human beings is that period of time when the body is reproductively active. That is, the body has the capability to reproduce offspring. In human beings, this stage starts at the age of 10 - 15 and usually lasts up to the age of 45 - 50 years. When the ovulation stops that phase is known as menopause.

Additional information: Ovulation in humans occurs once a month. In this whole period of a month, the uterus prepares itself for the implantation of a fertilized egg. The hormones released by the ovary stimulate the release of the egg into the fallopian tube. If the egg gets fertilized then an offspring is formed. If not, then the uterus lining along with the egg comes out through the vagina. This discharge of blood vessels is known as menstruation. It starts at the age of 10 - 15 years when girls hit puberty. And stops when she has reached the age of 45 - 50years. After that a woman can produce offspring.
So the answer is ’a) 45 - 50’.

Note: At the age of 80 - 90 years a woman becomes infertile and can’t reproduce. She loses the capability to reproduce. At the age of 10 - 15years, most of the girls get their first period marking the start of their reproductive phase. They are highly capable of producing healthy children as their bodies won’t support such stress at a small age.
