understand this topic as to understand the behavior of girls during the period.)

(The human female undergoes a monthly cycle of events called the menstrual
cycle. The menstrual cycle is a series of changes during which an egg matures
and the uterus is prepared for possible pregnancy. It has four phases,
menstrual phase, the follicular phase, ovulation, and luteal phase.)

1. Describe the phases of the menstrual cycle.

Ovulation Phase

Luteal Phase

Follicular Phase

Menstrual Phase
Phase Events Taking Place

Menstrual Phase This occurs when fertilization does not occur. The
uterine lining begins to break down and bleeding
results. Blood, some uterine tissue and the
unfertilized egg make their way out through the
vagina. This is called the menstrual flow. The flow
lasts from 3 to seven days. It marks the beginning of
the next menstrual cycle. As menstruation is going
on, a new egg is starting to mature within the ovary.

Follicular Phase The lining of the uterus becomes thin after

menstruation. An egg in the ovary continues to
mature. Just before the mid-cycle, the mature egg
moves to the surface of the ovary.

Ovulation Phase The mature egg is released. The mature egg then
travels from the ovary to the fallopian tube as it
goes to the uterus. Generally the egg survives
within 24 to 48 hours. At this stage, the process of
fertilization may take place.

Luteal Phase The lining of the uterus called the endometrium

becomes thicker in preparation for implantation of
the fertilized egg. If fertilization takes place, the
lining of the uterus stays in place. Likewise, no new
eggs are released. If fertilization does not take
place, menstruation happens. The next menstrual
cycle is then about to begin.
