TESTING QUIZ WITH COMPLETE
ANSWERS [GRADED A+]
What are the phases of the menstrual cycle? - ✔✔follicular phase,
ovulation, luteal phase
Days of the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle - ✔✔Day 1-13
begins on the first day of menstruation, but lasts till 13th day.
Explain the events that occur in the follicular phase? - ✔✔The pituitary

,While the egg cell matures, its follicle secretes a hormone that stimulates
the uterus to develop a lining of blood vessels and soft tissue called
endometrium.
Days of the ovulation phase of the menstrual cycle? - ✔✔Day 11-14
Explain the events that occur in the ovulation phase? - ✔✔the pituitary
gland secretes a hormone that causes the ovary to release the matured
egg cell. The released egg cell is swept into the fallopian tube by the cilia of
the fimbriae.
Fimbrae - ✔✔finger-like projections that accept the egg from the ovary to
the Fallopian tubes
Days of the Luteal phase of menstrual cycle? - ✔✔day 15-28
Explain the events that occur in the luteal phase? - ✔✔The egg cell

, If a sperm cell does not impregnate the egg cell within that time, the egg
cell disintegrates.
The hormone that causes the uterus to retain its endometrium gets used up
by the end of the menstrual cycle.
This causes the menstrual phase of the next cycle to begin.
Every month a sexually mature female's ovary releases an __________
that travels towards the uterus through the Fallopian tube - ✔✔egg cell
The uterus prepares for a possible pregnancy by developing a uterine lining
made of tissue and blood vessels. The lining is called the
_________________. - ✔✔endometrium
What is the strongest of the three kinds of estrogen? - ✔✔estradiol
During the menstrual cycle, increased __________________ levels cause
the maturation and release of the egg, as well as the thickening of the
uterine lining to allow implantation - ✔✔estradiol
