Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a nonpregnant female, the uterus goes through the menstrual cycle which includes three phases - menstruation, proliferative phase, and secretory phase. Menstruation occurs first, during which the functional layer of the endometrium is shed. This is followed by the proliferative phase, where the endometrium rebuilds itself and prepares for potential implantation of a fertilized egg. Finally, in the secretory phase, the endometrium continues to thicken and mature in preparation for implantation. Since menstruation happens first, followed by the proliferative and secretory phases, the correct order is B - menstruation, proliferative phase, secretory phase.
