Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option A: Progesterone
Concept:

The tissue left behind after ovulation undergoes luteinization to alter its primary secretory product.

Solution:

  • After releasing the egg, the ruptured follicle collapses and is transformed by LH into the corpus luteum.


  • The primary function of the corpus luteum is to secrete large amounts of progesterone (along with some estrogen).


  • This progesterone is vital for preparing the uterus for pregnancy.


Why other options are incorrect:

FSH and LH are secreted by the anterior pituitary, not the follicle. Testosterone is a male sex hormone (though trace amounts exist in females, it is not the primary secretion of the corpus luteum).
