Yellowish glandular structure which produces progesterone is_____________?
Correct answer: C. Corpus luteum
- A. Graffian follicle
- B. Ovary
- C. Corpus luteum
- D. Placenta
Explanation
After ovulation, the ruptured Graafian follicle changes into the corpus luteum, a yellow endocrine structure that secretes progesterone. Progesterone maintains the uterine lining for possible implantation. The Graafian follicle is the precursor, so choosing it confuses the structure before ovulation with the progesterone-secreting structure after ovulation.
