Cessation of menstruation due to decline in ovarian function. Occurs most frequently between age 45-50. Marks the end of child bearing

62
Q

What is the first phase of the menstruation cycle?

A

Day 1-4, Pituitary gland secretes FSH(Follicle Simulating Hormone) which stimulates growth of follicular cells in the ovaries. Follicular cells contain immature egg cells. Menstruation flow from previous cycle begins to flow

63
Q

What is the second phase of the menstruation cycle?

A

Day 5-12, Follicle produces estrogen to prepare uterus for egg. Uterus starts to thicken with blood; follicle produces a mature egg cell

64
Q

What is the third phase of the menstruation cycle?

A

Day 13-14, Ovulation: egg is released from ovary into fallopian tube. Empty follicle becomes corpus luteum: temporary gland that secretes progesterone which is a hormone that stimulates the endometrium to thicken. If fertilization occurs, the corpus luteum continues producing progesterone during pregnancy. If no fertilization occurs, the corpus luteum dies and breaks down and cells in endometrium break down and eventually menstruation occurs

65
Q

What is the fourth phase of the menstruation cycle?

A

Day 15-20, Cilia (hair that helps push things through. Different than regular hair) push ova( plural and singular is ovum) through fallopian tube into uterus

66
Q

What is the fifth phase of the menstruation cycle?

Day 21-28, If no fertilization then cells in endometrium gradually die and break down. Blood flow begins unfertilized egg becomes part of the menstrual flow and then back to phase 1
