Correct answer: A. Corpus luteum
- A. Corpus luteum
- B. Corpus albicans
- C. Corpus callosum
- D. Corpus spongiosum
Explanation
The endocrine part of the ovary after ovulation is the corpus luteum.The corpus luteum is a temporary endocrine gland that is formed from the remains of the ruptured ovarian follicle after ovulation. It produces the hormones progesterone and estrogen, which help to prepare the uterus for pregnancy. If the egg is not fertilized, the corpus luteum will eventually break down and the levels of progesterone and estrogen will decrease. This will trigger menstruation, which is the shedding of the lining of the uterus.
