    • The menstrual cycle prepares the uterus for pregnancy
    • Match the phases of the menstrual cycle with their key events:
      Menstrual ↔️ Shedding of the uterine lining
      Follicular ↔️ Maturation of an egg in the ovary
      Ovulation ↔️ Release of the mature egg
      Luteal ↔️ Preparation of the uterine lining for pregnancy
    • Ovulation typically occurs around day 14 of the menstrual cycle.

      True
    • Arrange the phases of the menstrual cycle in chronological order:
      1️⃣ Menstrual
      2️⃣ Follicular
      3️⃣ Ovulation
      4️⃣ Luteal
    • The luteal phase occurs after ovulation and prepares the uterine lining for pregnancy.
      True
    • LH triggers ovulation by causing the release of the mature egg from the ovary
    • During the ovulation phase, LH levels reach their peak
    • The menstrual cycle prepares the uterus for pregnancy
    • The menstrual cycle prepares the uterus for the implantation of a fertilized egg
    • Arrange the phases of the menstrual cycle in the correct order:
      1️⃣ Menstrual phase
      2️⃣ Follicular phase
      3️⃣ Ovulation
      4️⃣ Luteal phase
    • FSH stimulates the maturation of egg follicles
    • Which hormone promotes the thickening of the uterine lining during the follicular phase?
      Estrogen
    • What happens to estrogen levels during ovulation?
      They peak
    • The pituitary gland secretes FSH and LH to stimulate the ovaries.

      True
    • LH triggers ovulation and the formation of the corpus luteum
    • FSH stimulates the maturation of egg follicles and the production of estrogen
    • Ovarian hormones provide negative feedback to the hypothalamus and pituitary gland to regulate the release of FSH, LH, and GnRH
    • GnRH stimulates the pituitary gland to release FSH and LH.

      True
    • What does LH trigger in the ovaries?
      Ovulation
    • Rising estrogen levels during the follicular phase reduce FSH and LH secretion.

      True
    • GnRH, secreted by the hypothalamus, stimulates the pituitary gland to release FSH and LH.
    • The hormonal feedback mechanism of the menstrual cycle ensures it is tightly regulated and synchronized
    • The follicular phase occurs from days 6 to 14 of the menstrual cycle.

      True
    • Around which day of the menstrual cycle does ovulation typically occur?
      Day 14
    • The menstrual phase occurs on days 1-5 of the cycle and involves the shedding of the uterine lining.

      True
    • During the follicular phase, the uterine lining begins to thicken
    • The menstrual cycle prepares the uterus for implantation
    • The follicular phase is characterized by the maturation of an egg in the ovary
    • Match the hormones with their roles in the menstrual cycle:
      FSH ↔️ Stimulates egg follicle maturation
      LH ↔️ Triggers ovulation
      Estrogen ↔️ Thickens uterine lining
      Progesterone ↔️ Maintains thickened uterine lining
    • Progesterone maintains the thickened uterine lining during the luteal phase to prepare for implantation.

      True
    • Progesterone levels increase during the luteal phase to prepare the uterine lining for potential pregnancy.
      True
    • What is the purpose of the menstrual cycle?
      Prepare for pregnancy
    • The menstrual cycle lasts approximately 28 days

      True
    • Match the phase of the menstrual cycle with its key event:
      Menstrual phase ↔️ Uterine lining sheds
      Follicular phase ↔️ Egg matures in ovary
      Ovulation ↔️ Mature egg released
      Luteal phase ↔️ Uterine lining thickens
    • LH triggers ovulation by causing the release of a mature egg from the ovary.
      True
    • Progesterone maintains the thickened uterine lining during the luteal phase
    • Match the hormone with its dominant level during each phase:
      Follicular phase ↔️ FSH and Estrogen
      Ovulation ↔️ LH and FSH
      Luteal phase ↔️ Progesterone
    • Which two hormones are produced by the ovaries?
      Estrogen and progesterone
    • Estrogen and progesterone provide negative feedback to the hypothalamus and pituitary gland.

      True
    • LH triggers ovulation and the formation of the corpus luteum.
