Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option D: Progesterone
Concept:

The corpus luteum acts as a vital bridge, maintaining the uterine environment until a placenta can form.

Solution:

  • After releasing the ovum, the empty follicle undergoes a structural change induced by LH to become the corpus luteum.


  • The primary endocrine function of the corpus luteum is to mass-produce progesterone.


  • This progesterone keeps the uterine lining intact and highly secretory, preventing menstruation while waiting for potential embryo implantation.


Why other options are incorrect:

FSH and LH are pituitary hormones. Testosterone is a male hormone. While the corpus luteum produces minor amounts of estrogen, progesterone is its dominant and most critical product.
