Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option A: Graafian follicle
Concept:

The corpus luteum is a recycled structure created from the leftover casing of the egg.

Solution:

  • The fully mature, fluid-filled follicle just prior to ovulation is known as the Graafian follicle.


  • During ovulation, the Graafian follicle bursts and ejects the secondary oocyte.


  • The remaining granulosa and theca cells of the ruptured Graafian follicle collapse and undergo luteinization under the influence of LH, officially transforming into the corpus luteum.


Why other options are incorrect:

The ovum/oocyte is the egg ejected from the follicle. The oogonium is the primordial stem cell. None of these cellular targets form the glandular corpus luteum.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
