there are a lot of ribosomes in the human body.
each cell has two types, the membrane bound and the free ribosomes. and each cell has a lot of both types. plus we have a lot of cells in the body.
alot x alot = much more than alot.

Ribosomes are responsible for assembling the proteins of the cell. Ribosomal subunits are synthesized by the nucleolus. Depending on the protein production level of a particular cell, ribosomes may number in the millions
Ribosomes are typically composed of two subunits: a large subunit and a small subunit. These two units join together when the ribosome attaches to messenger RNA to produce a protein in the cytoplasm
There are two places that ribosomes usually exist in the cell: suspended in the cytosol and bound to the endoplasmic reticulum. These ribosomes are called free ribosomes and bound ribosomes respectively. In both cases, the ribosomes usually form aggregates called polysomes
Free ribosomes usually make proteins that will function in the cytosol while bound ribosomes usually make proteins that are exported or included in the cell's membranes. Interestingly enough, free ribosomes and bound ribosomes are interchangeable and the cell can change their numbers according to metabolic needs.

There are more ribosomes in your body than all the amount of people ever born on this planet and then trillions more...
