44. MENSTRUAL CYCLE
Fertilization
ovum meets sperm in oviduct
The Menstrual Cycle
- no menstruation occurs
(uterine lining will not break down) Day 0-5
Menstruation occurs
Yes - uterine lining break down
No - the unfertilized ovum is
discharged through the vagina
Fertilization ?
Day 14-28 (or Day 0)
Day 5-14
Uterine lining becomes very thick
Before ovulation:
- ready to receive fertilized ovum
uterine lining starts to thicken
( blood supply--> food & O2)
prepare for fertilized ovum
Day 14
Ovulation occurs
- not occur during pregnancy
