Explanation:

menstrual cycles is divided into two phases the follicular and luteal phases, each phase takes about 14 days to complete its cycle. At the follicular phase, the lining of the uterus

called the endometrium breaks down and shed as menstrual bleeding. After the follicular phase there is an increase in hormonal level of follicle stimulating hormone and Lutenizing hormone this leads to ovulation and the rupture and release of the egg follicle in the ovary.

luteal phase involves the formation of corpus luteum where the egg ruptures for a new cycle to start.
