Correct Answer is ["A","B","D"]
Explanation
A. Secretory phase: The secretory phase is a uterine (endometrial) phase that follows ovulation when the endometrium is prepared for implantation by progesterone-driven secretions
B. Proliferative phase: The proliferative phase is the pre-ovulatory uterine phase in which the endometrium rebuilds under the influence of estrogen.
C. Ovulatory phase: “Ovulatory” refers to ovulation and is classically part of the ovarian cycle (the moment of egg release), not listed as a primary uterine cycle phase.
D. Menses:Menses (menstrual phase) is the shedding of the functional layer of the endometrium and is a primary uterine cycle phase.
E. Luteal phase: The luteal phase is an ovarian cycle phase (post-ovulation, corpus luteum activity). Although it corresponds in time to the uterine secretory phase, “luteal” names the ovarian, not uterine, phase.
