Which finding best indicates that implantation has occurred during early pregnancy?
Correct answer: A. Trophoblastic tissue begins producing human chorionic gonadotropin
- A. Trophoblastic tissue begins producing human chorionic gonadotropin
- B. The anterior pituitary releases a large amount of progesterone
- C. The ovarian follicle releases a second mature oocyte
- D. The uterus immediately begins regular menstrual bleeding
Explanation
After implantation, trophoblastic tissue produces human chorionic gonadotropin, which supports the corpus luteum and its progesterone secretion during early pregnancy. The pituitary does not produce progesterone, and normal menstruation does not continue after implantation.

About Reproductive System
The reproductive system covers the male and female reproductive organs, gamete formation, the menstrual and ovarian cycles, fertilization, implantation and pregnancy. It explains the roles of FSH, LH, oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone, while distinguishing spermatogenesis from oogenesis and the reproductive organs from the accessory glands.
