It is blood, blood vessels and the lining in the womb that the womans body makes every month in case they get pregnant.
Variations in the amount of menstrual flow and the timing of menstruation are quite normal in young women during the first few years following the onset of menstruation. Periods may be irregular or very light. The use of oral contraceptives can often cause fluctuations in menstruation which include either light periods or spotting/bleeding between periods.
Many times, young women are frightened when they discover dark clumps of tissue in their menstruation. Most often, this is a part of the endometrium (uterine lining) shedding and is nothing to be concerned about.

Its womb lining, unfertilized egg, mucus and blood. During your entire period you actually only loose about a tablespoon of actual blood.

Menstrual debris is comprised of approximately 2/3 blood, about 1/3 mucous, fragments of endometrium (the uterine lining), and epithelial cells from the vaginal lining.

Not strictly. But mostly.
It's something the body creates as lining for the womb, but it's mostly made up of blood.

It is the reaction of the womb lining to an unfertilized egg, flushing out the built up surrounding tissue that holds the egg.

yes. you bleed slighty to allow the lining of the womb to slough away and it can then pass through the cervix. excessive bleeding is called endometriosis
