It outlines the four phases—menstruation, follicular phase, ovulation, and luteal phase—and links each stage to changing hormone levels. Students learn how FSH, estrogen, LH, and progesterone trigger release or maintenance of the uterine lining and how the uterus sheds its lining if fertilization does not occur. The material also includes a diagram-check activity and guidance for creating a labeled 28-day cycle chart.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/","Template",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/presentations/","Presentations",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/the-menstrual-cycle-a-look-at-the-phases-of-the-menstrual-cycle-and-the-roles-of-hormones/218633/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/the-menstrual-cycle-a-look-at-the-phases-of-the-menstrual-cycle-and-the-roles-of-hormones/218633.png","ImageObject",442,249,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Theodore","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation","2026-10-29","2026-09-08",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",8,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"How long is the menstrual cycle and what is its main purpose?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"The menstrual cycle is approximately 28 days long.
