Q

What is secreting phase and what days does it occur?

A

o Stage 3: Secreting Phase day 15 to 26
 The endometrium and estrogenic influence undergo cellular growth
 Progesterone warps the growth into folds
 The glandular epithelial cells fill in the cellular debris
 The glands secrete small amounts of fluid to prepare to fertilize the ovum
 The vascularity of the uterus increases greatly to provide nourishment
 If implantation occurs (sperm enters) the endothelium under the influence of progesterone thickens

Q

What is ischemic phase and what days does it occur?

A

 Both estrogen and progesterone levels drop. Spiral arteries undergo vasoconstriction. Endometrium becomes pale, blood vessels rupture. Blood escapes into uterine stromal cells, gets ready to be shed.
o **If fertilization occurs, menstrual phase (day 27-28) begins

Q

What phases occur in the ovarian cycle and what occurs during that time?

A

 Follicle Phase: day 1-14 (Corresponds with the menstrual and proliferation phase)
