Question

Select the correct sequence of menstrual cycle:

• A. Luteal, Menstruation, Follicular, New cycle.
• B. Menstruation, Secretory, Follicular, New cycle.
• C. Menstruation, Follicular, Luteal, New cycle.
• D. Follicular, Menstruation, Luteal, New cycle.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Menstruation, Follicular, Luteal, New cycle.

The cycle starts with the menstrual phase. When menstrual flow occurs, it lasts for 3-5 days. The menstrual phase is followed by the follicular phase or proliferative phase. The luteal or secretory phase just follows the former and completes the cycle. If fertilisation and implantation does not take place, then, a new cycle begins thereafter.
