Answer 1

The menstrual phases of the female sexual cycle include menstruation, proliferative phase, and secretory phase.

Step-by-step explanation:

The components of the menstrual phases of the female sexual cycle are:

• Menstruation: This occurs on days 1 to 5 of the cycle and involves shedding of the endometrial tissue that built up during the preceding cycle.
• Proliferative: This phase ranges from day 7 to 14 and is characterized by the build-up of the endometrium again until ovulation occurs.
• Secretory: This phase follows ovulation and involves the secretion of substances and other changes in the endometrium to prepare it to receive an embryo.
