during which phase of the uterine (menstrual) cycle will stratum functionalis develop with endometrial glands and spiral arteries and veins?
proliferative (preovulatory) phase
secretory (postovulatory) phase
luteal phase
menstrual phase

Explanation:

The uterine (menstrual) cycle has phases. The proliferative (preovulatory) phase is when the stratum functionalis (the inner lining of the uterus) develops, with endometrial glands and spiral arteries/veins regenerating under estrogen influence. The secretory phase involves glandular secretion (not development of the lining structures), the luteal phase is related to the corpus luteum (not lining development), and the menstrual phase is shedding the lining, not developing it.

Answer:

A. proliferative (preovulatory) phase
