Question

Which of the following statement can be related to metestrus phase of an estrus cycle?

• A. The hypertrophy of glands of uterine mucosa
• B. Corpus luteum develops
• C. In absence of fertilisation the corpus luteum degenerates
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

• Metestrus phase is characterized by the activity of the corpus luteum, which produces progesterone.
• The uterine lining begins to appear and hypertrophy of glands is observed due to increased progesterone.
  
• Just like menstrual cycle, absence of fertilisation leads to degeneration of corpus luteum in estrus cycle.
• So, the correct option is 'All of the above'.
