Proliferative Phase Endometrium During the Menstrual Cycle

Proliferative Phase Endometrium During the Menstrual Cycle. The follicular phase of the menstrual cycle involves the maturation of ovarian follicles, preparing one for release during ovulation. Concurrently, changes occur in the endometrium, which is why this phase is also referred to as the proliferative phase.  Nephron, Chris 73, Luis F Goncalves, Public Domain via Wikimedia Commons.
