B
Feedback:
While the ovarian follicles are producing increased amounts of estrogen, the endometrium prepares for possible fertilization with pronounced growth during the proliferative phase. If fertilization does not occur, the corpus luteum degenerates and hormonal levels fall during the secretory phase. Withdrawal of hormones causes the endometrial cells to change, and menstruation begins. Maturation of an ovum occurs during the ovarian cycle; growth of the lining (endometrium) of the uterus occurs during the uterine cycle. Together, these cycles are known as the menstrual cycle.
