A
  1. Follicular phase
  2. Ovulation
  3. Luteal phase
109
Q

what phase of ovarian cycle?

the time from the first day of menstruation until ovulation when a mature egg is released from the ovary

A

Follicular phase

because growth and maturation of the egg is taking place inside the follicle, a small sac where the egg matures

110
Q

occurs around day 14 of the cycle, in response to a surge of luteinizing hormone (LH) that occurs just before the egg is released from the ovary.

A

Ovulation

111
Q
  • is the time from when the egg is released (ovulation) until the first day of menstruation
A

Luteal phase

corpus luteum (Latin: yellow body) - structure that grows in the ovary where a mature egg was released at ovulation

112
Q

A

UTERINE CYCLE

113
Q

UTERINE CYCLE divided into 2 phases

A
  1. Proliferative phase
  2. Secretory phase
114
Q

is the time after menstruation and up to ovulation.

A

Proliferative phase

When menstruation is over, the endometrium grows and thickens during this period to prepare for implantation of an embryo (fertilized egg).

115
Q

is the time after ovulation and before the start of a woman’s period.

A

Secretory phase

Glands within the endometrium secrete proteins in preparation for a fertilized egg to implant. If implantation does not occur, the endometrium begins to break down and the glands stop secreting hormones. The result is shedding of the uterine lining (endometrium) called menstruation

116
Q

Q

two
