Question

Chorionic gonadotropic hormone is secreted by

• A. Ovary
• B. Pituitary
• C. Uterus
• D. Placenta

Answer 1

The correct option is D Placenta

• The hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is produced during pregnancy.
  
• It is made by cells formed in the placenta, which nourishes the egg after it has been fertilized and becomes attached to the uterine wall.
  
• Its levels can first be detected by a blood test about 11 days after conception and about 12-14 days after conception by a urine test.
  

So, the correct option is 'Placenta'.
