Can someone describe these: Menstrual Phase
Follicular Phase
and Luteal phase

Thanks!!!

(menstrual phase) this is the phase where the unfertilized ovum and endometrium that was formed in readiness for implantation slough off or come out due to a sudden drop in progesterone levels

(follicular phase) this is where the graafian follicle in the ovary develops. from primary follicles due to secretion of follicle stimulating hormone by the pituitary gland and matures there after due LH hormone which will also stimulate the ovary to release the ovum

(luteal phase)this is the phase after the ovum has been released where the remains of the ruptured graafian follicle undergo reorganization to form a corpus luteum/yellow body which now produces progesterone which causes thickening of endometrium in readiness for implantation

hope this helps

thinking it would be physical characteristics
