H. Making generalizations and abstractions about the lesson.

The menstrual cycle is the process that prepares a woman for pregnancy. This
cycle repeats itself every 28 days (on the average) during the reproductive years of most
women.
Menstruation is referred to as woman’s monthly bleeding. When you menstruate,
your body sheds the lining of the uterus called endometrium. Menstrual blood flows from the
uterus through the small opening in the cervix and passes out of the body through the vagina.
Most menstrual periods last from 3 to 5 days

IV. Evaluation
Direction: Read each statement below. Write Yes if it is correct or No if it is not.
A. Both male and female experience menstruation when they reach puberty.
B. Menstruation is the shedding of endometrium that causes blood flow in female.
C. When a female menstruates it signals that she is capable of reproduction.
D. Menarche is the period when female stops menstruating.
E. Female should observe proper hygiene during menstruation because the body is more
susceptible to infection.

V. Assignment
Why males should understand all about menstruation that occur to female?

The menstrual cycle has four phases. Namely the menstruation phase, follicular
phase, ovulation phase, and luteal phase. Different things happen in each phase like
shedding of the uterine lining, releasing of mature egg cell, travelling of the egg in the
fallopian tube and thickening of the uterine lining.

G. Finding practical applications of concepts and skills in daily living

In which phase of the menstrual cycle is pregnancy possible? Why?

H. Making generalizations and abstractions about the lesson.

Menstrual Phase- This is a woman’s monthly bleeding. During this period, some eggs
begin to mature in the ovaries. As the eggs develop, the
surrounding cells release the estrogen hormone into bloodstream.
 Follicular Phase- The lining of the uterus starts to grow due to the Hormone estrogen.
The endometrium starts to develop to receive the fertilized egg.
The follicle- stimulating hormone (FSH), increases and in turn
stimulates the growth of the ovarian follicles.

Ovulation Phase- When a mature egg (ovum) is released from the

ovarian follicle to the nearest fallopian tube during the menstrual
cycle, ovulation occurs. As the egg moves down the fallopian
tube over several
days, the lining of the uterus continues to grow thicker and
thicker. It takes 3 to 4 days for the egg to travel toward the
uterus. In this stage, fertilization may take place
thus,pregnancy is possible.

Luteal Phase- After ovulation occurs, the follicle develops into a hormone-producing
structure called corpus luteum, a yellow structure in the ovary that
produces estrogen and large amounts of progesterone. This
hormone signals the uterus to thicken to provide nutrients forthe
coming baby if in case a sperm fertilizes the egg. If fertilization did not
take place, the thickening of the uterus breaks down and comes out
of the body through menstruation. The menstrual cycle repeats, after
approximately 28 days
IV. Evaluation
Direction: Which phase of the menstrual cycle is being referred to? Write the phase before the number

Menstrual Phase Description

1. The mature egg moves to the surface of the
ovary just before the mid-cycle.
2. Uterine linings begin to break down and
bleeding results.
3. The mature egg travels from the ovary to the
uterus.
4. The endometrium becomes thicker in preparation for the
implantation of the fertilized egg.

5. A new egg cell starts to mature within the ovary.

6. The next menstrual cycle is then about to begin.

7. The lining of the uterus becomes thin after
bleeding.
8. An egg in the ovary continues to mature.
9. The mature egg is released.
10. Pregnancy may be possible.

V. Assignment
Direction: Draw the phases of menstrual cycle. Write a brief explanation for each.

G. Finding practical applications of concepts and skills in daily
living
If sperm cell meets with the egg cell what will happen?

H. Making generalizations and abstractions about the lesson.

In the ovulation phase, there’s a possibility that the adult
female may get pregnant. As the mature egg cell leaves the
ovary, it is
swept up to the fallopian tube. In this phase, if sperm cell meets the
egg cell fertilization will take place or pregnancy starts.

IV. Evaluation:
Direction: Fill in the blank with the correct word to complete the paragraph.
Choose your answer from the box.
In the phase of the menstrual cycle, the releases a
mature egg cell. It is swept up to the . In this phase, sperm cells may
enter the female reproductive system and with the egg cell.
Fertilization will take place and the female adult will be _ _.

G. Finding practical applications of concepts and skills in daily living
Suppose a 10-year old female pupil is already menstruating.
What should she do if she missed her monthly period?

H. Making generalizations and abstractions about the lesson.

Many women experience different problems during
menstruation These include menstrual pain and discomfort, tenderness
of the breasts, headache, irritability, and depression with no apparent
 cause. All of these refer to premenstrual stress or PMS.
A few women experience severe menstrual cramps called
dysmenorrhea. There are some women who experience irregular
menstruation or lack of a menstrual period, unless pregnant. If they
suffer from this, they have amenorrhea.
