Answers
Answer:
Correct option - (2). Day 8
The uterine lining is the least thick on day 8.
Explanation:
The uterine lining is known as the endometrium lining. This lining is important during the pregnancy period. This lining particularly thickens to cushion and nurture the growing egg.
The endometrium lining is the thinnest during the menstrual period. It measures about 2-4 millimeters in thickness during the menstrual period. This period lasts from the 6th day to the 14th day. Around the 8th day, the endometrium lining grows the thinnest as compared to the other days.
The endometrium grows thicker to accommodate the egg's implantation. Thus, during the secretory phase when the ovules/eggs are released, the endometrium becomes thicker. In this phase, it may reach a thickness of about 16 mm.
