Understanding these phases is crucial as it allows us to comprehend the intricate workings of our bodies. We will dive deep into each phase, discussing the physiological changes, hormonal fluctuations, and the role of the pituitary gland in regulating this process.
During #menstruation, the shedding of the uterine lining occurs, leading to the familiar monthly bleeding. Moving on to the follicular phase, we will explore how the pituitary gland releases follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles. This phase sets the groundwork for ovulation.
