Answer 1

The correct order of events in the female monthly cycle is: Menstruation, Ovulation, Corpus luteum formation, and Follicle formation. Option B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct order of events in the female monthly cycle, beginning with day 1, is: b. 1, 2, 4, 3 - Menstruation, Ovulation, Corpus luteum formation, Follicle formation.

The menstrual cycle is divided into the ovarian cycle, which takes place in the ovaries, and the uterine cycle, which takes place in the uterus. In the ovarian cycle, the follicular phase is where a follicle and its egg mature, followed by ovulation where the egg is released from the ovary. After ovulation, the follicle transforms into the corpus luteum.

In the uterine cycle, menstruation occurs first, followed by the proliferative phase where the endometrium builds up again in preparation for a fertilized egg, and finally the secretory phase where the endometrium secretes substances and undergoes changes to receive an embryo.
