The menstrual cycle is the series of changes that occur in a woman's reproductive system in preparation for pregnancy. It is controlled by hormones and typically lasts around 28 days, though the length can vary. The cycle involves three phases - the menstrual, proliferative, and secretory phases. During ovulation, an egg is released from the ovaries if pregnancy does not occur. The cycle then repeats each month until menopause, which usually occurs between ages 45-55.
The female reproductive system is made up of the internal and external sex organs that function in reproduction of new offspring. In humans, the female reproductive system is immature at birth and develops to maturity at puberty to be able to produce gametes, and to carry a fetes to full term.
DEFINITION OR MEANING OF MENSTRUAL (REPRODUCTIVE) CYCLE:-
Menstruation (Greek word, men-month) is monthly uterine bleeding out flowing through vagina into vulva for 4-5 days every 28 days (24-35 days)during reproductive life of a woman from menarche to menopause.
The Menstrual cycle of 28 days starts on day of onset of menstruation and ends at day 28 on start of next mens.
The cycle consists of a series of changes taking place concurrently in the ovaries and uterine lining, stimulated by changes in blood concentration of hormones.
PHYSIOLOGY OF MENSTRUATION
Introduction :
Typically, a woman of childbearing age should menstruate every 28 days or so unless she's pregnant or moving into menopause. But numerous things can wrong with the normal menstrual cycle.
Definition:
Menstruation means cyclic uterine bleeding caused by shedding of progestational endometrium it occurs between menarche and menopause
Menstruation (also called menstrual bleeding, menses, or a period)
Characteristics of normal menstruation
1-Menarche: 10-16 years. average 13 years.
2-Duration: 2-7 days (<2days>7 days is menorrhagia
3-Amount: 30-80 ml., uses 3 napkins per day, >80 ml. is menorrhagia and < 30 ml. is hypomenorrhea.
4-Normally menstrual blood doesn’t coagulate as a result of secretion of fibrinolysin enzyme (plasmin) secreted by the endometrium.
5-Menstrual molimina refers to mild symptoms of 7-10 days before menstruation relieved once menstruation occurs exaggerated condition called (premenstrual syndrome).
The hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis:
There are two main components of the menstrual cycle,
1. the changes that happen in the ovaries in response to pituitary hormones (the ovarian cycle)
2. and the variations that take place in the uterus,
but it is important to remember that both cycles work together simultaneously to produce the menstrual cycle.
Changes in cervical mucus also take place during the course of the menstrual cycle.

The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. DEFINITION
• Rhythmical series of physiological changes
that occur in fertile women
• Under the control of the endocrine system
• Necessary for reproduction
• Average length: 28 days, but typically varies,
with shorter and longer cycles
3. DEFINITION
• Menarche: a woman's first menstruation
– typically occurs around age 12
– occurrence depends on overall health and
diet
• Menopause: end of a woman's reproductive
phase, commonly occurs between ages 45
and 55
– age of menopause is largely the result of
genetics
4. DEFINITION
• Physiological changes during menstrual cycle can
be observed at three different levels:
– neuroendocrine level
– ovaries
– uterus
• Menstrual cycle can be divided into 3 phases:
– menstrual phase
– proliferative / follicular (estrogen) phase
– secretory / luteal phase (progesterone) phase
5. Phase
Average start and end day
(assuming a 28-day
cycle)
Menstrual phase 1-4
Proliferative phase 5-13
Ovulation 13-16
Secretory phase 16-28
6. MENSTRUAL PHASE
• Menstruation
– menstrual bleeding, menses, period
– discharge of bloody fluid containing
endometrial cells, glandular secretions
and blood cells, lasts 3 -5 days
– result of the previous menstrual cycle
– due to strong vasoconstriction and
proteolytic activity, functional stratum of
endometrial tissue dies and is discharged
during menstrual bleeding
7. MENSTRUAL PHASE
• Endometrium becomes very thin, but
due to low estrogen levels, hypophysis
secretes more FSH
• FSH stimulates secretion of estrogen,
and estrogen serves as proliferation
signal to the endometrial basal layer
8.
9. FOLLICULAR PHASE
• Due to the rise of follicle stimulating
hormone (FSH) during the first days of the
cycle, several ovarian follicles are stimulated
• Follicles compete with each other for
dominance
• The follicle that reaches maturity is called a
Graafian follicle
10. FOLLICULAR PHASE
• As they mature, the follicles secrete
increasing amounts of estrogen, which
thickens the new functional layer of
endometrium in the uterus
• Estrogen also stimulates crypts in the cervix
to produce fertile cervical mucus
• At the end of this phase ovulation occurs
11.
12. OVULATION
• During the follicular phase, estrogen
suppresses production of luteinizing
hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland
• When the ovum has nearly matured, levels of
estrogen reach a threshold above which they
stimulate production of LH (positive
feedback loop)
• The release of LH matures the ovum and
weakens the wall of the follicle in the ovary,
causing the fully developed follicle to release
its secondary oocyte
• After being released from the ovary, the
ovum is swept into the fallopian tube
13. LUTEAL PHASE
• Corpus luteum: solid body formed in an
ovary after the ovum has been released into
the fallopian tube
• Produces significant amounts of
progesterone, which plays a vital role in
making the endometrium receptive to
implantation of the blastocyst
• High levels of E and P suppress production
of FSH and LH that the corpus luteum needs
to maintain itself
• Falling levels of progesterone trigger
menstruation and the beginning of the next
cycle
