Question

In case of non fertilization, corpus luteum

• A. Stops secreting progesterone
• B. Changes to corpus albicans
• C. Starts producing progesterone
• D. Both A and B

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both A and B

During an ovulatory phase of the menstrual cycle, the ovum is released from the Graffian follicle. If the fertilization of ovum occurs Graffian follicles transforms into the corpus luteum and if the ovum is not fertilized the corpus luteum degenerates and stops secreting progesterone hormone and, thus the new cycle begins with menstruation. At the site of the degenerate corpus luteum, an inactive mass of fibrous tissue forms called as the corpus Albicans.

So, the correct answer is option D.
