menstruation
what are the flow of the uterine lining material from the body
Breaks down
The uterus lining deteriorates during menstruation. The menstrual flow is the uterine lining that is shedding after pregnancy does not occur.
The flow of blood and tissue cells from the uterus is called menstruation. During menstruation, the lining of the uterus sheds and is expelled through the vagina. This process is accompanied by the flow of blood, which is a mix of tissue cells, uterine lining, and blood from the ruptured blood vessels in the uterus.
Menstrual blood doesn't clot like other blood because if it did it would be detrimental to the whole process of the uterine lining shedding. The 'clots' people talk about in menstrual flow are normally larger chunks of the uterine lining, normal during heavier flow days.
Menstruation is the process of the uterus lining shedding to ready itself for possible pregnancy next cycle. The uterine lining builds-up so that if a woman conceives the zygote can implant itself into the uterus to develop into a baby, if that doesn't happen the uterus lining sheds.
The large chunks of blood during your period is actually uterine lining, and this is perfectly normal. The main waste product during menstruation is the uterine lining, you can see this as chunks in your menstrual flow that may look similar to raw liver.
During menstruation your uterine lining is shed and the uterus pushes out that uterine lining thanks to hormone-like chemicals called prostagladins - if you produce too much of these then they can cause inflammation, causing blood vessels to contract causing temporary loss of blood flow to the uterus which causes pain (it's similar to what happens when someone has a heart attack). Sometimes this pain can radiate and prostagladins can have an impact on other muscles around the lower part of your body including your back and legs.
The tissue that you see in your menstrual flow isn't skin, it is most likely the uterine lining. It's normal to see larger pieces of uterus lining being shed in your menstrual flow on heavier days of your period.
Menstrual flow isn't just blood, the blood is actually secondary to the main waste material: uterine tissue. Basically the chunks are pieces of the uterine lining itself, or may be lumps of bloody mucus.
The process you are referring to is menstruation, also known as a woman's period. During menstruation, the egg cell is not fertilized, so it along with the blood and the lining of the uterus are shed and expelled from the body through the vagina. This typically occurs on a monthly basis in females of reproductive age.
A menstrual period is when the uterus lining sheds as a result of a cycle without pregnancy occurring. Menstrual flow is made up of the uterine tissue, blood, cervical mucus, and discharge.
