    The menstrual cycle begins with the pituitary gland releasing hormones that cause an egg to mature in the ovary. The ovary then releases estrogen, causing the uterine lining to thicken in preparation for a potential fertilized egg. On day 14, the ovary releases an egg which moves into the uterus. However, without fertilization, the thickened uterine lining breaks down and is shed, along with the unfertilized egg and some blood, during menstruation. The cycle then begins again.

    SUMMATIVE TEST 3.

    MENSTRUAL CYCLE ; DNA AND RNA

    I. Arrange the important events during the menstrual cycle.

     The pituitary gland releases hormones that cause the egg in the ovary to mature. The luteinizing hormone (LH)
    initiates the maturation of the follicles, converts ruptured follicles into corpus luteum and causes the secretion of
    progesterone.
     The ovary itself releases a hormone called estrogen, which causes the uterine lining to increase in thickness.
     The egg has not been fertilized, therefore, it will not attach to the uterus
     The pituitary gland controls and starts the cycle.
     The ovary releases an egg on day 14. Assume that no sperm is present.
     After menstruation, the cycle starts again
     Meanwhile the uterine lining continues to thicken.
     The thick uterine lining is no longer necessary, so the cells of the thickened uterine lining break off and leave the
    vagina. The unfertilized egg is lost and some blood is lost too. This loss of cells from the uterine ining, blood, and
    egg is called menstruation.
     The egg moves through the oviduct and enters the uterus.
