C
Feedback:
The follicular phase lasts from about day 4 to about day 14 . During this time, under the influence of FSH, several follicles begin to ripen and the ovum within each begins to mature. About day 14, a surge of hormones causes the ovum to burst through the ovary. This act is called ovulation. During the luteal phase, the empty, ruptured graafian follicle becomes the corpus luteum and begins to secrete progesterone and estrogen. The endometrium of the uterus has a similar cycle. It is called the uterine cycle or endometrial cycle. This process prepares the uterus for implantation of an ovum (egg).
