what is menstrual cycle
Answers
The menstrual cycle is the reproductive cycle in a human female after puberty.
The ovary releases one egg every month.
The uterus also prepares itself every month to receive a fertilized egg.
The inner uterus lining becomes thick and is supplied with blood to nourish the embryo.
If the egg is not fertilized, then the uterus lining breaks down and is released in the form of blood and mucous through the vagina.
This process lasts for 2-8 days. This cycle occurs every month and is known as menstruation.
This cycle is normally of 28 days but it varies from woman to woman.
Answer:
The menstrual cycle is the regular natural change that occurs in the female reproductive system (specifically the uterus and ovaries) that makes pregnancy possible. The cycle is required for the production of oocytes, and for the preparation of the uterus for pregnancy. The menstrual cycle occurs due to the rise and fall of estrogen. This cycle results in the thickening of the lining of the uterus, and the growth of an egg, (which is required for pregnancy).The egg is released from an ovary around day fourteen in the cycle; the thickened lining of the uterus provides nutrients to an embryo after implantation. If pregnancy does not occur, the lining is released in what is known as menstruation
