a normal cyclic physiologic event signifying the reproductive
years in the human female.
Mestruation
is also defined as an episodic uterine bleeding in response to cyclic hormonal changes or it is the shedding of the lining of the uterus which include blood, some endometrial tissue, white blood cells and mucus.
Mestruation
the rhythmic preparation of the uterus to receive a fertilized egg and the discharge of the uterine lining usually at monthly intervals when no fertilized egg enters
the uterus (prepares the uterus for pregnancy).
Menstrual Cycle
Purposes of Menstrual Cycle:
- to bring an ovum to maturity
- to renew uterine tissue bed that will be responsible to its growth should it be
fertilized
What are the four body structures involved in the physiology of menstrual cycle?
Hypothalamus
Pituitary Gland
Ovaries
Uterus
The shedding of the functional 2/3 of the endometrium which is initiated by periodic vasoconstriction of the spiral arterioles most marked in the upper layers
of the endometrium.
Menstrual Phase - approximately 4 days
decrease estrogen level in the blood stimulates the hypothalamus to release Gonadotrophin Releasing Factors (GnRF), FSHRF, LHRF, FSHRF stimulates the APG to produce FSH that act on a primodial follicle in an ovary-producing estrogen.
Proliferative Phase - approximately 10 days
low level of progesterone in the blood stimulates the hypothalamus to release LHRF that further stimulates the APG to produce LH, responsible for the production of progesterone. Increase amount of ES and Pro pushes the new mature ovum to the surface of the ovary. Graafian follicle ruptures and release the mature ovum thus ovulation occur. Graafian follicle turns to corpus luteum that contains an increasing amount of progesterone and giving it a yellowish appearance.
Progestational Phase - approximately 11 days
if the mature ovum is not fertilized, the amounts of hormone in the corpus luteum will start to decrease and turns to white called corpus albicans. After 3-4 days, the thickened lining of the uterus start to degenerate and slough off and capillaries ruptures thus menstruation.
Regressive/ Premenstrual Phase - approximately 3 days

are the characteristics that make a man, a man, or a woman, a woman. This includes the man’s or woman’s capability for sexual feelings and behavior. It also includes his or her total personality.
Human Sexuality
- clitoris to increase in size
- mucoid fluid to appear on vaginal walls as lubrication.
- vagina widens in diameter and increases in length
- nipples become erect
Excitement Phase
5 major components of Human Sexuality:
Biological Sex
Sexual Orientation
Sexual Identity
Gender Identity
Values, attitudes, feelings and emotion
*penile erection occurs, as well as
scrotal thickening and elevation of
the testes.
Excitement Phase
there is an increase in heart and respiratory rates and blood pressure
Excitement Phase
▪ clitoris is drawn forward and retracts under the clitoral prepuce; the lower part of the
vagina becomes extremely congested (formation of the orgasmic platform), and
▪ there is increased nipple elevation.
Plateau Phase
