RECAP
Last week, you have learned about the human reproductive system. In
the female human reproductive system, females begin to menstruate between
the ages of 11 and 15. Menstruation is the monthly shedding of blood from
the lining of the uterus. The menstrual cycle lasts 28 days, but there are
some female menstrual cycles that are as short as 21 days or as long as 35
days, which are normal.
Given below are the events in each phase of the menstrual cycle.
Identify the phase by arranging the jumbled letters.
Events Phase
1) During menstruation, the endometrium LIFCLRULOA HSPEA
breaks down (1 to 5 day)).

VALUING
Do you love yourself? How healthy is your body especially your brain
and your nervous system? During the pandemic season wherein there is still
no vaccine, how did you take good care of your body? You always stay at home
so you’re having less exercise except if you are doing zumba, dancing will really
help your nerves be healthy.
As a millennial, you are no
longer as active as the teenagers of
the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s whose fond
of playing outdoor games. Playing
outdoor will really help your nervous
system become fit and healthy. But,
if you want to play like basketball or
tug of war, you should also be careful
not to hit your head or your spinal
cord.
