Entry term(s) ciclo endometrial
ciclo ovárico
Scope note: Período desde el comienzo de un sangrado menstrual (MENSTRUACIÓN) hasta el siguiente en una mujer que o primate femenino que ovula. El ciclo menstrual está regulado por interacciones endocrinas del HIPOTÁLAMO, HIPÓFISIS, ovarios y el tracto genital. El ciclo menstrual se divide por la OVULACIÓN en dos fases. Atendiendo al estado endocrino de OVARIO, hay una FASE FOLICULAR y una FASE LUTEÍNICA. Atendiendo a la respuesta en el ENDOMETRIO, el ciclo menstrual se divide en una fase proliferativa y en una fase secretoria.

Scope note: The period from onset of one menstrual bleeding (MENSTRUATION) to the next in an ovulating woman or female primate. The menstrual cycle is regulated by endocrine interactions of the HYPOTHALAMUS; the PITUITARY GLAND; the ovaries; and the genital tract. The menstrual cycle is divided by OVULATION into two phases. Based on the endocrine status of the OVARY, there is a FOLLICULAR PHASE and a LUTEAL PHASE. Based on the response in the ENDOMETRIUM, the menstrual cycle is divided into a proliferative and a secretory phase.
