In respect of female reproductive cycle, which of the following statements are correct:- 1. The female reproductive cycle consists of menstrual phase, a pre-ovulatory phase, Ovulation and a post ovulatory phase. 2. During the menstrual phase, small secondary follicles in the ovary begin to enlarge while the uterus is shedding its lining. 3. During the pre-ovulatory phase, a dominant follicle continues to grow and begins to secret estrogen and inhibin while the uterine lining begins to rebuild. 4. Ovulation results in the release of an ovum and the shedding of the uterus lining to nourish and support the release ovum. 5. After ovulation, a corpus luteum forms the ruptured follicles and begins to secrete progesterone and estrogen, which it will continue to do throughout pregnancy if the egg is fertilized. 6. If pregnancy does not occur, then the corpus luteum degenerates into a scar known as corpus albicans and uterine lining is prepared to be shed again.
