PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The ruptured follicle closes after releasing the egg and forms a corpus luteum, which produces progesterone. During most of this phase, the estrogen level is high. Progesterone and estrogen cause the lining of the uterus to thicken more, to prepare for possible fertilization.

Detailed explanation-2: -Estrogen and progesterone are steroid hormones that play a pivotal role in the regulation of mammalian reproduction. One primary action of these hormones is to regulate the development and function of the uterus. These hormones act by regulating the transcription of specific genes in the uterus.

Detailed explanation-3: -Several hormones are involved in the menstrual cycle of a woman: follicle stimulating hormone (FSH ) causes the maturation of an egg in the ovary. luteinising hormone (LH ) stimulates the release of the egg. oestrogen is involved in repairing and thickening the uterus lining, progesterone maintains the uterine lining.
