Question

Arrange the following menstrual phases in order:

• A. Follicular phase, Menstruation, Ovulation, Luteal phase
• B. Menstruation, Ovulation, Follicular phase, Luteal phase
• C. Menstruation, Follicular phase, Ovulation, Luteal phase
• D. Luteal phase, Ovulation, Follicular phase, Menstruation

Hint:

The menstrual cycle phases are driven by hormonal changes. FSH and LH regulate the follicular phase and ovulation, while progesterone is dominant in the luteal phase.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The menstrual cycle is divided into four distinct phases in the following order: Menstruation: The shedding of the uterine lining (endometrium). Follicular phase: The development of ovarian follicles stimulated by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Ovulation: The release of a mature egg from the ovary, triggered by a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH). Luteal phase: The corpus luteum forms and secretes progesterone to prepare the uterus for possible implantation. Thus, the correct order is Menstruation, Follicular phase, Ovulation, Luteal phase.
