Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The proper sequence of the menstrual (uterine) cycle is menstrual phase, proliferative phase, ovulation, and progestational phase. During the menstrual phase, the endometrium sheds. During the proliferative phase, the endometrium rebuilds. Ovulation occurs when a mature egg is released from the ovary. During the progestational phase, the endometrium thickens to prepare for implantation if fertilization occurs. This sequence is important for fertility and reproductive health. Choice B accurately represents the proper sequence.
