The follicle celIs, after release of the egg, are modified to form a special structure called:
Correct answer: C. Corpus luteum
- A. Endometrium
- B. Perimetrium
- C. Corpus luteum
- D. None of these options are correct
Explanation
After the release of the egg (ovulation) from the ovarian follicle, the remaining structure transforms into a specialized endocrine organ called the corpus luteum. The corpus luteum plays a crucial role in the menstrual and reproductive cycles. It produces progesterone, along with some estrogen, which helps prepare the uterine lining (endometrium) for a potential pregnancy. If fertilization occurs and the embryo implants in the uterus, the corpus luteum is maintained, and it continues to produce hormones to support early pregnancy.

The menstrual cycle includes ovarian and uterine changes controlled by pituitary and ovarian hormones, while sexually transmitted diseases are studied through their causes, transmission, symptoms, prevention and effects on fertility.
