4. Newborns have increased, not decreased, peristalsis.
5. Newborns do have a smaller stomach capacity.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C
Feedback
Correct The follicular phase is the period during which the ovum matures. It
begins on day 1 and ends around day 14 . The ovulatory phase occurs near
the middle of the cycle, approximately 2 days before ovulation. After
ovulation and under the influence of the luteinizing hormone, the luteal
phase corresponds with the last 12 days of the menstrual cycle.
Incorrect The proliferative and secretory phases are part of the endometrial cycle.
The proliferative phase takes place during the first half of the ovarian cycle
when the ovum matures. The secretory phase occurs during the second half
of the cycle when the uterus is prepared to accept the fertilized ovum.
These are followed by the menstrual phase if fertilization does not occur.
