Explanation:
1. Four hormones control ovulation and therefore the menstrual cycle: progesterone, estrogen, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH).
2. During the secretory phase, the endometrium is thickest, and glycogen is produced to nourish a fertilized ovum.
3. Although the length of the menstrual cycle might vary, the phases of the menstrual cycle always occur in the same order.
4. There are four phases of the menstrual cycle: menstrual, proliferative, secretory, and ischemic phases.
