Describe the changes that take place during the menstrual cycle from Day 5-13 to the following:
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Between days 5 and 13 of a woman's menstrual cycle, an unfertilized egg in ovary prepares its development and maturation within the follicle, while the lining of the uterus -the endometrium- progressively enlarges.

Explanation:

Under normal conditions, a woman's menstrual cycle lasts 28 to 30 days, during which time both hormonal and physiological changes occur as part of the reproductive process.

Menstruation occurs as a result of the shedding of the endometrium, which had previously developed to facilitate the implantation of a possible pregnancy. This phase usually lasts five days and is characterized by genital bleeding.

From the fifth to the 13th day, a woman's reproductive system undergoes changes in preparation for possible fertilization and pregnancy:

  • <em>The unfertilized egg</em><em> is found inside the ovarian follicle, maturing before its imminent release, under the influence of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). The maturation of a few follicles occurs simultaneously, but only one will reach the necessary maturity to allow the release of the egg. </em>
  • <em>The lining of the uterus</em><em>, called the endometrium, receives signals from the hormone estradiol -produced by the mature ovarian follicle- and induces proliferation and thickening of the endometrium.</em>

Approximately on the 15th day of the menstrual cycle, the egg is released and it is the time when it can be fertilized by a sperm to produce the zygote, which will start a pregnancy in women.

Help in these two please I need help with this
Lynna [10]
Note 1: Balanced forces do not cause alterization motion or movement. This is because of the fact that balanced forces are equal in size and in opposite directions. Consequently, this leads to cancellation and ultimately no movement.The net force for balancing forces is always 0.

Think of it this way: Take your right hand and left hand. Press them together; palm-to palm and five fingers to five fingers. Now apply equal amount of pressure (your force) as you push them in opposite directions (left hand left direction right hand right direction) Does any change in movement occur? 

Note 2: Unbalanced forces are the forces that cause change in movement and motion. When two unbalanced forces are exerted in opposite directions, the overall force (or net force) is the difference between the two forces and the direction is in favor for the larger force. 
Think of it this way. Repeat the exercise I shown you in Note 1, but this time, make apply more force in comparison to the other hand. Your right/left hand's force overpowers the weaker force of the opposite hand. The direction is in favor to your right/left hand (since they obtain the bigger force) as your hands move to the right or left side. This is an example of unbalanced forces at play.

Q22: The two forces on the left and right side are balanced given that their force is equal in size and they are in opposite directions. The two forces northwards and southwards are unbalanced forces since they are not equal in size but are opposite in direction. Recall in note 2 when I given the formula to find the net force for unbalanced forces. Its the difference (subtraction) between the bigger force and smaller force. 5 - 2 = 3. Therefore the net force for question 22 is 3.The direction is in the bigger force's direction, therefore southwards. 


Q24: Is a balanced force. Therefore the net force is 0. I don't think there is technically any direction per say.
