The Story of Menstrual Cycle

Inside every woman’s body there is a place called female

reproductive system. Each month, the uterus allows a thick,
soft lining to grow along its walls. This soft lining is made up
of tissue and blood that contain the nutrients that nourish a
fertilized ovum. Meanwhile, as the lining grows, the ovaries do
their job. You see, the ovaries contain special reproductive
cells. Each month, one of the reproductive cells in one ovary
matures and becomes an egg cell of ovum. The ovum is
released from the ovary and goes toward the fallopian tube.
The numerous arms of the fallopian tube grab the ovum and
gently guide it into the tube. After about a day of travel, it
begins to dissolve. When it has disappeared, the brain sends a
message to the lining of the uterus telling it that fertilization
did not occur, so it could now leave the uterus. Slowly, the
lining passes through the cervix, into the vagina, and out of
the woman’s body. As soon as the lining is gone, the uterus
again allows a new lining to start to grow. Then the process
would start all over again. This process is called menstrual
cycle.
