 INTRODUCTION
Menstruation is one part of a woman's cycle when the
lining of the uterus (endometrium) is shed. This occurs
throughout a woman's reproductive life. With each
monthly cycle, the endometrium prepares itself to
nourish a fetus. Increased levels of estrogen and
progesterone help thicken its walls. The average
menstrual cycle lasts 28 days.

REPRODUCTIVE CYCLE
The female of placental mammals exhibit cyclical
changes in the activities of ovaries and accessory ducts
as well as hormones during the reproductive phase
known as reproductive cycle.
There are two types as follows:
• Oestrous cycle: - This acle occurs in non-primates
like cow, rat, etc.
• Menstrual cycle: - This cycle occurs in primates like
apes and human beings.
