What is the secretory phase of the menstrual cycle?



Answer:

High estrogen, increases fallopian tube contractions and decreases acidity in the vagina, corpus luteum produces progesterone (beginning of a luteal phase of the ovarian cycle) and secretory phase of the menstrual cycle --------- the endothelial lining prepares for implantation

endothelium secretes fluid rich in glycogen, if fertilization has occurred, it will nourish the zygote, if it has not, the corpus luteum will degrade, levels of progesterone and estrogen will fall, endothelial tissue grows thinner and will die, resulting in the first day of the next cycle (menses)
