Question

Match the items given in Column I with those in Column II and select the correct option given below : Column I (a) Proliferative Phase (b) Secretory Phase (c) Menstruation Column II (i) Breakdown of endometrial lining (ii) Follicular Phase (iii) Luteal Phase

Accepted Answer

During proliferative phase, the follicles start developing, hence, called follicular phase. Secretory phase is also called as luteal phase mainly controlled by progesterone secreted by corpus luteum. Estrogen further thickens the endometrium maintained by progesterone. Menstruation occurs due to decline in progesterone level and involves breakdown of overgrown endometrial lining.
