Question

(c) Name the hormone and its source organ responsible for the events occurring during the proliferative phase of menstrual cycle. Explain the event.

Hint:

The proliferative phase ensures the regeneration of the uterine lining, creating a receptive surface for potential implantation.

- Hormone: Estrogen.
- Source organ: Ovaries (specifically, developing follicles).
- Function: Estrogen plays a crucial role in rebuilding and thickening the endometrium (uterine lining) after menstruation, thereby preparing the uterus for possible embryo implantation.
