Match the items given in Column I with those in Column II and select the correct option given below:
Pick the matching item from Column II for each row.
Column I
- a. Proliferative Phase
- b. Secretory Phase
- c. Menstruation
Column II
- i. Breakdown of endometrial lining
- ii. Follicular Phase
- iii. Luteal Phase
Correct answer: a → ii, b → iii, c → i
Proliferative = follicular, secretory = luteal, menstruation = endometrial breakdown.
During the proliferative phase, the follicles start developing, hence it is called the follicular phase. The secretory phase is also called the luteal phase, mainly controlled by progesterone secreted by the corpus luteum. Estrogen further thickens the endometrium, maintained by progesterone. Menstruation occurs due to decline in progesterone level and involves breakdown of the overgrown endometrial lining. Correct match: a-ii, b-iii, c-i.
