An interest rate is the price lenders charge to borrowers to use their money. An interest rate of 5 percent means that someone borrowing $1,000 will have to make interest payments of $50 per year â in addition to eventually paying back the amount that was originally borrowed.eople often talk about the Fed setting this interest rate, but that's not quite accurate. What happens is that the Fed announces a target for the federal funds rate and then uses its ability to create or destroy money to reach its target. There are a couple of ways the Fed can do this.
A human female typically has about 400,000 follicles/potential eggs, all formed before birth. Only several hundred (about 480) of these âeggsâ will actually ever be released during her reproductive years. Normally, in humans, after the onset of puberty, due to the stimulation of follicular-stimulating-hormone (FSH) one âeggâ per cycle matures and is released from its ovary. One month the left ovary will release a potential egg and the next month the right ovary will release a potential egg.
The Ovaries Through the Lifespan. A woman is born with all of the eggs sheâll ever need, around one million in each of the ovaries. By puberty, when sheâll most likely receive her first period, the number of eggs in each ovary is around 200,000 to 400,000. During her childbearing years, approximately 300 to 500 eggs will develop and be released during ovulation. After menopause, the ovaries will stop producing eggs, and atrophy (shrink).
