Which consequence develops when rhythmic hormonal shifts fail?

💡 Explanation

Absent hormone shifts lead to amenorrhea because normal cycling depends on hormonal orchestration. Specifically, the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis drives regular periods; therefore, loss of cyclicity occurs rather than affecting enzyme (digestion) or muscle contraction(motor).
