What hormone triggers ovulation and promotes formation of a corpus luteum?
Progesterone is the primary hormone produced in the corpus luteum. Secondary is estrogen.
Which hormone prevents degeneration of the corpus luteum?
progesterone
Maintenance of pregnancy by corpus luteum and placenta?
Lutenizing Hormone
Which hormone stimulates the corpus luteum to produce progesterone and estrogen?
Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
After ovulation the hormone secreting remnant of the follicle is called?
corpus luteum
What structures within the ovary are responsible for production of each hormone?
corpus luteum
Which hormone causes luteolysis?
Prostaglandin F2α is responsible for the luteolysis of the corpus luteum.
Which hormone is most likely responsible for preparing the uterus for pregnancy?
The hormone progesterone in the corpus luteum will prepare the uterus for pregnancy.
Where does corpus luteum develop?
The corpus luteum is formed from the ovary. The pituitary gland increases its production of the second hormone, luteinizing hormone (LH). This second hormone allows the mature egg to rupture from the ovary (called ovulation) and enter into the uterine tube. The postovulatory phase has begun. LH also encourages the formation of a "scar" within the ovary. This "scar" is called the corpus luteum, and it produces the hormone progesterone.
How the level of a hormone which prevents menstruation remains high during pregnancy even after the corpus luteum has broken down?
Progesterone is the hormone that prevents menstruation and maintain pregnancy. It is initially produced by the corpus luteum. After the corpus luteum has broken down, the placenta takes over the production of progesterone from the 8th week of pregnancy until birth. Therefore, it is the placenta which keeps the level of the hormone (progesterone) high throughout pregnancy.
What is corpus leudium in cattle?
The corpus luteum produces progesterone, which is a very important hormone for maintaining pregnancy. A corpus luteum or "yellow body" occurs after the mature follicle has been released from the ovum, then cells of the follicle change into the corpus luteum.
What hormone maintains viability of the corpus luteum?
The hormone hCG is produced from the syncytiotrophoblast cells of the developing embryo. This hormone is responsible for maintaining the corpus luteum during pregnancy for 3-4 months so that the corpus luteum continues to produce progesterone. Progesterone is needed to prevent a menstual cycle while pregnant. After 3-4 months, the placenta takes over the production of progesterone.
