प्रश्न

Name the function of the following:

Corpus luteum

State the main function of the Corpus luteum

संक्षेप में उत्तर

उत्तर

It secretes progesterone, a hormone that prepares the uterus for implantation. If implantation fails, the corpus luteum goes inactive and degenerates. If an embryo is implanted, the corpus luteum continues to release progesterone until the fourth month of pregnancy, when the placenta takes over this function.
