A period is when menstruation occurs. Basically, an ovum (egg) is released from either ovary. The egg travels through the fallopian tube connected to the ovary and, eventually, it enters the endometrium. While the egg was traveling, the endometrium was thickening. If the egg has not been fertilized by sperm, it evaporates. The endometrium is not needed. The endometrium leaves the body through the vagina as a reddish fluid. This is a period.
Why do all woman have menstruation?
A woman's internal sex organs consist of two ovaries, the Fallopian tubes, the uterus (womb) and the vagina. The ovaries contain the ovum with which she is born. During each period, an ovum will usually ripen and mature due to the action of hormones that circulate in the bloodstream. At maturity the ovum is released the ovary and drifts down the Fallopian tube into the uterus. The lining of the uterus, the endometrium, has been thickened as aresult of the hormones and isprepared receive the fertilised egg. If the egg is fertilized and the woman becomes pregnant, it will fasten itself onto the endometrium. However If the egg is not fertilized, hormonal changes cause the endometrium to fall away and menstruation begins. Menstrual discharge is composed of the endometrium itself, together little fresh blood caused by the breaking of very fine blood vessels within the endometrium as it falls away from the inside of the uterus.

Trace the Path of an unfertilized egg from a follicle until it leaves the body?
On maturity of an ovum, the follicle and the ovary's wall rupture, allowing the ovum to escape and enter the Fallopian tube. There it travels toward the uterus, pushed along by movements of cilia on the inner lining of the tubes. This trip takes hours or days. If the ovum is fertilized while in the Fallopian tube, then it normally implants in the endometrium when it reaches the uterus, which signals the beginning of pregnancy.
