Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option C: Progesterone
Concept:

The placenta acts as a temporary, vital endocrine gland during pregnancy to support fetal development and maintain the uterine environment.

Solution:

  • During pregnancy, the placenta secretes high levels of progesterone, estrogen, and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG).


  • Progesterone is absolutely critical for maintaining the thick endometrial lining and preventing premature uterine contractions.


Why other options are incorrect:

FSH and LH are secreted by the anterior pituitary gland, while testosterone is primarily produced by the Leydig cells in the testes.
