CORRECT ANSWER 3 During a woman's menstruation, mucus, blood, and epithelial cells are all expelled from the uterus. It occurs on a monthly basis. Menstruation does not occur in women that are pregnant and lactation. There are three distinct hormonal interactions in a woman's cycle. In days 1-5 of a menstrual cycle there is a decrease in both estrogen and progesterone production. This phase is known as the menses phase. When progesterone drops, endometrial lining begins to slough off. The proliferative phase occurs in days 6-14. During this time, FSH s released. FSH is used to stimulate an ovum maturing. At the close of this phase, an increase of LH causes the ovum to be released or the body to ovulate. The final phase is the secretory phase which is days 15-28 of a woman's cycle. There are high levels of LH and that causes graafian follicles to turn into corpus luteum. At seven weeks gestational age, what should the fetal heart rate be? CORRECT ANSWER 120-180bpm.
