    Menstrual Cycle

    Uploaded by

    Bhuvanya Parthasarathi
    The menstrual cycle typically lasts 28 days and is composed of three phases: the follicular phase where the ovaries develop follicles, ovulation where an egg is released, and the luteal phase where the ovaries develop the corpus luteum. A normal menstrual cycle requires an intact hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, responsive follicles in the ovaries, and a functional uterus, and if prolonged, only the follicular phase will lengthen while the luteal phase remains at 14 days.
