1. Male Reproductive Systems: For Discussion: True or False? 2. Sperm cells are considered by a man’s immune system as “non-self” and are attacked by a man’s own white blood cells. 1. Sperm cells in the female reproductive tract are considered by a woman’s immune system to be “non-self” and are attacked by her phagocytic white blood cells. 3.A woman, in her reproductive lifetime, has the potential to produce about 500,000 eggs, but she will only ever use about 500. True 4. The average man, in a single average ejaculation of semen, emits more reproductive cells than the average woman produces in her reproductive lifetime. True, about 420 million per average ejaculate, he produces about 4 million/hour 5. Only one sperm may fertilize an egg in humans. True 6. Only about 1 in 42,000 sperm, or 0.00238 % of the sperm in an average ejaculation reach the egg.
