Learning goals 4.4
You know what ovulation is
You can explain what menstruation is

What is ovulation?
-Egg cell (ovum) is released from the ovary

-After 24 hours the ovum will die and be absorbed into the bloodstream.
Slide 3 - Tekstslide
What is menstruation?
Release of blood from the uterus lining through the vagina
Happens only if egg cell is not fertilized
Start around age 12
Slide 4 - Tekstslide
How does it happen?
Hormones oestrogen en progesterone build up uterus lining

Menstrual cycle
The menstrual cycle is the process that the female sex organs go through each month again; preparing an egg for fertilisation, and getting rid of it when it is not fertilised.
This whole process is regulated by hormones
This cycle generally lasts somewhere between 21 to 35 days, on average it is 28 days (that is why we normally count in months)
28 days = 4 weeks
Slide 7 - Tekstslide
3 Phases
Phase 1 (day 1-5) : menstruation
Uterus lining is shed through the vagina (no fertilized egg)
Phase 2 (day 6-12): pre-ovulation
repair phase: uterus lining build new layer of mucus
new egg cell develops in the ovary
Slide 8 - Tekstslide
3 Phases
Ovulation (day 13-15)
A new ova is released and send down the oviduct
Phase 3: post-ovulation (day 16 - 28)
Uterus lining grows to form a 'nest' for the egg cell
No fertilized egg cell? --> cycle starts again!
