Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation:
1. Four hormones control ovulation and therefore the menstrual cycle: progesterone, estrogen, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH).
2. During the secretory phase, the endometrium is thickest, and glycogen is produced to nourish a fertilized ovum.
3. Although the length of the menstrual cycle might vary, the phases of the menstrual cycle always occur in the same order.
4. There are four phases of the menstrual cycle: menstrual, proliferative, secretory, and ischemic phases.

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation:
1. The two phases of the ovarian cycle are follicular (days 1 to 14 of the menstrual cycle) and luteal (days 15 to 28 of the menstrual cycle).
2. hCG is secreted by a fertilized ovum and does not stimulate ovulation.
3. The ovum is released from the graafian follicle of the ovary and travels to the fallopian tube during the follicular phase of the ovarian cycle.
4. Menstrual cycles that are irregular in length have a consistent follicular phase but a varying luteal phase.
