this accompanied by bleeding. The blood and the cells that lined the uterus flow out the vagina as menstrual flow.
After 7. ________________, the cycle begins again.
Activity 13: Arrange the Events!
Directions:Write the corresponding number of each statement that best describe each stage or phase.
Events during Menstrual cycle:
1. The pituitary gland controls and starts the cycle by releasing GnRH, stimulating the ovaries.
2. The pituitary gland releases hormones that cause the egg in the ovary to mature. The luteinizing hormone (LH)
initiates the maturation of the follicles, converts ruptured follicles into corpus luteum and causes the secretion of
progesterone. The follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) assists in the maturation of the follicles and causes the
secretion of estrogen from the follicles.
3. Meanwhile, the ovary itself releases a hormone called estrogen, which causes the uterine lining to increase in
thickness. The uterine lining becomes thicker so that the fertilized egg can attach to it.
4. The ovary releases an egg on Day 14. Assume that no sperm is present.
5. The egg moves through the oviduct and enters the uterus.
6. Meanwhile the uterine lining continues to thicken.
7. The egg has not been fertilized, therefore, it will not attach to the uterus.
8. The thick uterine lining is no longer necessary, so the cells of the thickened uterine lining break off and leave the
vagina. The unfertilized egg is lost and some blood is lost too. This loss of cells from the uterine lining, blood,
and egg is called menstruation.

Activity 14: Modified True or False

Directions: Read the statements below. Write True if the statement is correct and write the correct answer if the
underlined word is incorrect.

1. The pituitary gland also known as the master gland controls and starts the menstrual cycle.
2. The ovary releases an egg on Day 1 of regular monthly cycle.
3. During each menstrual cycle, an egg develops and is released from the ovaries.
4. On average, an ovary releases only one egg every 28 days.
5. The luteinizing hormone (LH) initiates the maturation of the follicles, converts ruptured follicles into corpus luteum and
causes the secretion of estrogen hormone.
6. The follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) assists in the maturation of the follicles and causes the secretion of estrogen
hormone from the follicles.
7. Menstrual cramps are the results of the strong contractions of the uterine wall that occur before and during menstruation.
8. The length of the menstrual cycle varies from woman to woman, but the average is to have periods every 38 days. Regular
cycles that are longer or shorter than this, from 21 to 40 days, are normal.
9. Menstruation stops occurring after menopause which usually occurs between 45 and 55 years of age.
10. Regular menstrual cycle is a sign that essential parts of a female’s body are under normal perfect condition.
