27
Opening in the female body that allows the exit of urine
Urethral opening
28

Perenium
30
Inability to maintain or hold an erection
Erectile dysfunction
31
Erection for more than an hour
Priapism
32
Process wherein the female body prepares for the possibility of pregnancy
Menstrual cycle
33
Uterus lining (Endometrium) shreds and flows out of your vagina (1-7)
Menstruation
34
Pituitary gland releases hormones to stimulate the production of follicles (8-12)
Follicular phase
35
Mature follicle erupts, releases ovum two weeks before period (12-14)
Ovulation phase
36
Corpus luteum produces progesterone and estrogen (16-28)
Luteal phase
37
Tissues in the uterus multiply and thicken endometrium
Proliferative phase
38
Reasons for high risk of pregnancy during unsafe days
Decrease of pH level, acidic environment in the female body decreases; higher chance of fertilization
39

44
