although some hyperplasia might occur

Question 7

Question 8

At end of menstrual phase, endometrium is usually reduced to

Answer 9

Simple tubular glands they sometimes branch in their deeper portions

lamina propria

Question 10

Question 11

how many days does the Proliferative phase

Answer 11

10

Question 12

the menstrual phase is caused by ?

Answer 12

Failure of fertilization ovum leads to inhibition in production of progesterone by corpus luteum

Question 13

when does the secretory phase start ? for how long ?

Answer 13

Start at ovulation and lasts about 14 days

Question 14

the secretory phase results from action of ?

Answer 14

progesterone secreted by corpus luteum

Question 15

describe the glands in the secretory phase and proliferative

proliferative –> straight tubules with narrow lumen

secretory –> dilated tubules highly coiled

Question 16

what causes the dilation of the lumen of the glands in the secretory phase

describe the mucous secretions from the cervix in these phases
secretory phase or in pregnancy ?
At time of ovulation?
mention the reason

proliferate and secrete a more viscous and abundant mucous , because of progesterone

mucous secretions are watery
