Stage of menstrual cycle that starts after ovulation is:
Correct answer: D. Secretory stage
- A. Menstrual stage
- B. Follicular stage
- C. Proliferative stage
- D. Secretory stage
Explanation
Secretory stage begins after ovulation and lasts until the end of the menstrual cycle. During this stage, the endometrium continues to thicken and secrete glycogen and other nutrients in preparation for implantation of a fertilized egg. If fertilization does not occur, the endometrium will eventually break down, leading to the start of a new menstrual cycle.
