Q1 QUESTION 1 OF 111
endometrial cycle
RESPONSE
The 28 days of the menstrual cycle as they apply to the events in the uterus. The endometrial
cycle has four subphases: menstruation, the proliferative phase, and the secretory phase, and
the ischemic phase .
RATIONALE
The endometrial cycle describes the uterine lining's changes throughout the approximately 28-day
menstrual cycle. It encompasses four distinct phases: menstruation, proliferation, secretion, and
ischemia, each characterized by specific hormonal influences and tissue morphology. These
sequential events prepare the uterus for potential implantation or menstruation if fertilization does
not occur.
Q2 QUESTION 2 OF 111
proliferative phase
RESPONSE
The second phase of the uterine (endometrial) cycle, during which the endometrium (shed off
during menstration is rebuilt). This phase of the cycle is under the control of estrogen, secreted
from the follicle developing in the ovary during this time period. The proliferative phase
typically lasts from day 6 to day 14 of the menstrual cycle.
Q3 QUESTION 3 OF 111
secretory phase
Page 2
, RESPONSE
The third phase of the uterin (endometrial) cycle, during which the rebuilt endometrium is
enhanced with glycogen and lipid stores. The secretory phase is primarily under the controll of
progestone and estrogen (secreted from the copus luteum during this time period), adn
typically lasts from day 15 to day 28 of the menstrual cycle.
Q4 QUESTION 4 OF 111
ischemic phase
RESPONSE
Approximately 3 days before menstruation to onset of menstruation. due to the decreased
production of estrogen or progesterone and the endometrium becomes blood starved
RATIONALE
This phase of the menstrual cycle is characterized by a decline in ovarian hormones, leading to
endometrial ischemia. The reduced levels of estrogen and progesterone cause vasoconstriction
and eventual breakdown of the uterine lining. This precedes menstruation, typically occurring in the
days immediately before its onset.
Q5 QUESTION 5 OF 111
menstrual cycle
RESPONSE
Cycle during which an egg develops and is released from an ovary and the uterus is prepared to
receive a fertilized egg.
RATIONALE
The menstrual cycle involves ovarian follicular development leading to ovulation and subsequent
endometrial preparation for potential implantation. This cyclical process ensures the release of a
mature ovum and creates a receptive uterine environment for fertilization.
Q6 QUESTION 6 OF 111
Ovulation
Page 3
, RESPONSE
The process of releasing a mature ovum into the fallopian tube each month
RATIONALE
Ovulation is a physiological event within the female reproductive cycle. It signifies the release of a
mature oocyte from the ovarian follicle, typically occurring mid-cycle. This released ovum then
enters the fallopian tube, making it available for fertilization.
Q7 QUESTION 7 OF 111
uterine prolapse
RESPONSE
the condition in which the uterus slides from its normal position in the pelvic cavity and sags
into the vagina
RATIONALE
Uterine prolapse occurs when pelvic floor muscles and ligaments weaken, failing to adequately
support the uterus. This loss of support allows the uterus to descend from its typical anatomical
position within the pelvis into the vaginal canal.
Q8 QUESTION 8 OF 111
risk factors for uterine prolapse
RESPONSE
menopause, pregnancy, coughing, constipation, obesity, pelvic floor trauma, vaginal birth,
hysterectomy, connective tissue disorders, spina bifida
RATIONALE
Factors contributing to uterine prolapse weaken pelvic floor support. These include hormonal
changes post-menopause, increased intra-abdominal pressure from pregnancy or chronic
cough/constipation, tissue damage from childbirth or surgery, and congenital weaknesses.
Conditions like obesity and connective tissue disorders further compromise structural integrity.
