43
Q

Menstruation stage

A

Endometrium is shed, follicle begins development in ovary, corpus luteum ceases to function

44
Q

Follicular stage

A

Endometrium is repaired. Follicle continues to develop and secrets estrogen

45
Q

Ovulation stage

A

Endometrium grows, Graafian follicle ruptures amd liberates ovum , occurs on 14th day

46
Q

Luteal stage

A

Endometrium thickens, corpus luteum begins development in ruptures follicle and secrets progesterone

47
Q

Premenstrual stage

A

Endometrium shrinks, corpus luteum begins involution and reduces hormone production

48
Q

Vagina

A

Muscular tube, cervix of uterus to opening of outside world, lies between bladder and rectum, lined with mucous membrane, in many folds called rugae, mucous that is secretes In lining is low on ph
