What is the menstrual cycle?
The cycle in women (typically lasting 28 days) that involves:
● Shedding of uterus lining (menstruation)● Repair of uterus lining● Release of an egg (ovulation)● Maintenance of uterus lining

Describe the stages of the menstrual cycle
● Days 1-4: if fertilisation and implantation do not occur the uterus lining sheds and the egg is expelled with it (menstruation)
● Days 4-14: uterus lining thickens and blood vessels grow in preparation for the implantation of an egg
● Day 14: egg released from a follicle into the oviduct (ovulation)
● Days 14-28: uterus lining maintained so implantation can occur

Describe the role of progesterone in the menstrual cycle (higher)● Secreted by the corpus luteum
● Stimulates the growth of blood vessels in the uterus lining (in preparation for implantation)
● Inhibits the release of FSH and LH
● If no implantation occurs, progesterone levels decrease and the uterus lining sheds. FSH increases and the cycle starts again.
