Questions
Name the function of the following:
Corpus luteum
State the main function of the Corpus luteum
Solution
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.
