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.
The luteinizing hormone stimulates ovulation in the female?
Yes, but it is the surge that brings on ovulation.The luteinizing hormone is required to stimulate the ovarian follicles in the ovary to produce the female sex hormone, estradiol. And around day 14 of the cycle, a surgein luteinizing hormone levels causes the ovarian follicle to tear and release a mature oocyte (egg) from the ovary, a process called ovulation.For the remainder of the cycle (weeks three to four), the remnants of the ovarian follicle form a corpus luteum. Luteinizing hormone stimulates the corpus luteum to produce progesterone which is required to support the early stages of pregnancy, if fertilization occurs.
Why is the corpus luteum important to reproduction?
The corpus luteum produces progesterone during the time that the placenta is forming, about the first trimester. After the placenta is mature, it will continue to produce progesterone while the corpus luteum degenerates. Progesterone is an important pregnancy hormone. Pregnancy cannot continue without it.
Does the corpus albicans secrete the hormone relaxin?
No, the corpus luteum secretes the hormone relaxin. Relaxin is a hormone produced during pregnancy and helps with tissue growth during reproduction. The corpus albicans is a mass of tissue which is formed when the corpus luteum is broken down, which occurs when fertilisation of the egg does not occur (and therefore the woman does not become pregnant). Because the corpus albicans is therefore not present if a woman becomes pregnant, and the hormone relaxin is only produced during pregnancy, the corpus albicans will not secrete relaxin.
Which hormone stimulates the corpus luteum to produce progesterone and estrogen?
Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
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
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.
After ovulation the hormone secreting remnant of the follicle is called?
corpus luteum

Luteinizing hormone stimulates the corpus luteum to produce progesterone which is required to support the early stages of pregnancy, if fertilization occurs.
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.
Why is the corpus luteum important to reproduction?
The corpus luteum produces progesterone during the time that the placenta is forming, about the first trimester. After the placenta is mature, it will continue to produce progesterone while the corpus luteum degenerates. Progesterone is an important pregnancy hormone. Pregnancy cannot continue without it.
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.
