Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
In human female, the periodic discharge of blood, mucus and cellular debris from the uterine wall of non-pregnant women of sexual maturity is known as menstrual cycle.
Few hours before the start of menstruation, the spiral arterioles constrict one by one resulting in the blanching of the mucosa.
The mucosa shrinks and the death of the blood-deprived tissues takes place.
