Answer:

The human female produces gametes(in the form of ova)that are discharged in monthly cycles. these cycles are called menstrual cycles.

  • the function of the menstrual cycle is to prepare a favorable environment for the developing feotus if fertilization took place.
  • a single egg(ovum) is normally produced and discharged from one of the two ovaries each month.this is called ovulation.
  • ovulation is just one part of the menstrual cycle.the menstrual cycle lasts about 28 days,but varies from 25 to 35 days.
  • the uterine lining thickens in preparation for pregnancy.if fertilization does not occur,the lining breaks down and is shed as a discharge through the vagina.this is called menstruation.
  • the cycle starts on the first day of menstruation.

I hope this helps
