Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option D: Progesterone
Concept:

The corpus luteum acts as a temporary endocrine gland vital for early pregnancy maintenance.

Solution:

  • Following ovulation, the remnants of the follicle cells absorb lipids and become the corpus luteum.


  • Its primary function is the prolific secretion of progesterone.


  • This hormone halts further endometrial proliferation and initiates secretory changes, making the uterus a plush environment for implantation.


Why other options are incorrect:

Testosterone is a male hormone. Parathormone regulates blood calcium. Oxytocin drives uterine contractions. None of these are produced by the corpus luteum.
