The proliferative phase is also referred to as follicular phase - It involves the maturation of ovarian follicles to prepare one of them for release during ovulation.
Secretory phase is also referred to as luteal phase - This phase lasts about 14 days (unless fertilization occurs) and ends just before a menstrual period. In this phase, the ruptured follicle closes after releasing the egg and forms a structure called a corpus luteum, which produces increasing quantities of progesterone.
Menstruation - is the process during which endometrial lining is shed.
