The right sequence of stages during menstrual cycle:
Correct answer: C. Follicular --> ovulation --> luteal --> menstruation
- A. Follicular stage --> luteal stage -> ovulation ---> menstrual
- B. Follicular --> ovulation --> menstrual --> luteal
- C. Follicular --> ovulation --> luteal --> menstruation
- D. Menstrual --> luteal --> ovulation --> follicular
Explanation
Menstrual phase: This is the first phase of the menstrual cycle, and it begins when the lining of the uterus sheds. This phase typically lasts for 3-5 days.Follicular phase: This phase begins after menstruation and ends with ovulation. During this phase, an egg matures in one of the ovaries.Ovulation: This is the phase in which the egg is released from the ovary. Ovulation typically occurs around day 14 of a 28-day menstrual cycle.Luteal phase: This phase begins after ovulation and ends with the start of the next menstrual period. During this phase, the egg travels down the fallopian tube and implants in the uterus if it is fertilized. If the egg is not fertilized, it will break down and menstruation will begin again.Hence, the correct order is Follicular --> ovulation --> luteal --> menstruation. So, option C is correct.
