Question

15 multiple choice 2 points a female with irregular periods and history of cysts gets a sonogram to confirm she is not pregnant. what changes are expected if the imaging is done halfway during the secretory phase? some scarring tissue was found in her myometrium. the uterine lining is thicker. corpus luteum were located in her ovaries. the uterine lining is extremely thin.

Explanation:

During the secretory phase of the menstrual cycle, progesterone from the corpus luteum causes the uterine lining (endometrium) to thicken in preparation for a possible pregnancy. Scarring tissue in the myometrium is not a typical finding related to the normal secretory - phase changes. The corpus luteum is present in the ovaries during the secretory phase, but this is not the most characteristic change seen on sonogram related to the uterine environment. An extremely thin uterine lining is characteristic of the follicular phase, not the secretory phase.

Answer:

The uterine lining is thicker.
