Which of the following would not be expected during pregnancy?
Correct answer: D. Formation of the corpus albicans
- A. Maintenance of the corpus luteum
- B. Formation of the placenta
- C. Blastocyst implantation
- D. Formation of the corpus albicans
Explanation
Correct Answer: Formation of the corpus albicans.The corpus albicans is a scar-like structure that forms when the corpus luteum degenerates at the end of the menstrual cycle if pregnancy does not occur. During pregnancy, the corpus luteum is maintained to continue hormone production until the placenta takes over. Thus, the formation of the corpus albicans is not expected during pregnancy.Other Options:Maintenance of the corpus luteum, formation of the placenta, and blastocyst implantation are all expected processes that occur during a typical pregnancy.
