Expert Solution
Step 1: Menstruation cycle

Menstruation is the cyclical, periodic shedding of the uterine lining resulting from the interaction of hormones generated by the brain, pituitary, and ovaries. 
The luteal or secretory phase and the follicular or proliferative phase are the two distinct phases of the menstrual cycle. 
The sequence of events within the female body as it gets ready each month for the prospect of pregnancy is known as the menstrual cycle.
