Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option B: Corpus luteum
Concept:

Following ovulation, the remnants of the ovarian follicle transform into a temporary endocrine gland.

Solution:

  • Under the influence of Luteinizing Hormone (LH), the ruptured Graafian follicle collapses and its cells enlarge, accumulating a yellow lipid pigment.


  • This modified structure is called the corpus luteum (Latin for "yellow body").


  • It begins secreting large amounts of progesterone to maintain the uterine lining for potential pregnancy.


Why other options are incorrect:

The Graafian follicle is the pre-ovulatory structure. Follicle atresia is the degeneration of unselected follicles. The corpus callosum is a brain structure connecting the two cerebral hemispheres.
