This video talks about the follicular phase. The officular phase is the initial part of the menstrual cycle, starting on the first day of menstruation and lasting until ovulation. During this phase, the pituitary gland releases follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which stimulates the growth of several ovarian follicles. Rising levels of estrogen, produced by the developing follicles, lead to the thickening of the endometrium, preparing it for potential pregnancy. Typically, only one follicle becomes dominant and continues to mature, while the others regress. This phase, lasting about 10 to 16 days, concludes with a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH), triggering ovulation.
This video will help you learn the basics and foundational knowledge needed to ace your exams!
