Definition
English
:
The period from onset of one menstrual bleeding (
MENSTRUATION
) to the next in an ovulating woman or
female
primate. The
menstrual cycle
is regulated by endocrine interactions of the
HYPOTHALAMUS
; the
PITUITARY GLAND
; the ovaries; and the genital tract. The
menstrual cycle
is divided by
OVULATION
into two phases. Based on the endocrine status of the
OVARY
, there is a
FOLLICULAR PHASE
and a
LUTEAL PHASE
. Based on the response in the
ENDOMETRIUM
, the
menstrual cycle
is divided into a proliferative and a secretory phase.
