The changes in the female reproductive system where an ovary releases an egg and the uterus prepares to receive it
Real World Example
Imagine you’re planning a big dinner party at home. Just like preparing your house to welcome guests, the female reproductive system undergoes a cycle to get ready for a potential pregnancy. In this analogy, the ovary releasing an egg is like sending out invitations for the party, while the uterus preparing to receive it is akin to tidying up the living room and setting the table for dinner. Just as you might not have guests show up every time you host, the body may not always have a fertilized egg to welcome, but it goes through the preparation process regardless.
