What is the Monthly Cycle of a Female Human?
|
1. Meiosis starts(Oocytes are created before birth)- cells are suspended in P1 Phase
2. Estrogen 3. Follicle cells support meiosis finishes (ONE Oocyte-other three break down) 4. Ovalation- egg released in Fallopian Tube 5. Uterus grows with blood rich tissue 6. If fertilized(egg attachs to lining of uterus) If not fertilized(Menstruation) |
|
