What are the characteristics of the follicular and luteal phases of the ovarian cycle?
Follicular phase: growth of ovarian follicles and maturation of oocyte. Luteal phase: formation of corpus luteum and secretion of progesterone.
What is the function of LH surge?
LH surge triggers ovulation and stimulates the formation of the corpus luteum.
Indicate the cyclical changes in cervical mucus.
Cervical mucus becomes thin, clear, and elastic around ovulation, facilitating sperm transport.
Differentiate between the menstrual, proliferative, and secretory phases of the uterine cycle.
Menstrual phase: shedding of the uterine lining. Proliferative phase: growth and thickening of the uterine lining. Secretory phase: preparation of the uterine lining for implantation.
Compare the phases of the uterine cycle and the ovarian cycle, explaining the effect of ovarian hormones on the uterine changes in each phase.
The uterine cycle is influenced by ovarian hormones. Estrogen stimulates uterine lining growth in the proliferative phase, while progesterone prepares the uterine lining for implantation in the secretory phase.
