What prevents the breakdown of the corpus luteum?
The hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) helps maintain the corpus luteum during early pregnancy by signaling to the ovary to continue producing progesterone. This is important for supporting the early stages of pregnancy until the placenta is fully developed and can take over hormone production. If the corpus luteum breaks down before the placenta is capable of producing enough hormones, it can lead to a miscarriage.
If you take a pregnecy text and its says your pregnant does it mean your actually pregnant?
In most of the cases. Not in 100 % cases. This test look for H.C.G. hormone in the urine. This hormone is usually produced by placenta. But there may be a tumor producing this hormone. You have to go for ultrasound examination for confirmation of the pregnancy.
Where does the exchange of respiratory gases take place between a mother's blood and the blood of her fetus?
Placenta
What you do your cow have small piece of placenta what you do?
Keep an eye on the cow - if she starts getting sick (running a fever, off feed, dehydrated or decreased milk production) call your veterinarian immediately and tell him the placenta may be retained. Otherwise, some cows take up to 7 days to completely clear the placenta. The important part is don't pull on the placenta hanging out of the vulva. Ripping the placenta makes it more likely a piece will end up left inside where it will rot and cause infection and problems.
Why do levels of human growth hormone rise during adolescence?
because cabbages will take over the world :)
What is the hormone that affects most body cells?
Insulin is the hormone that affects most body cells. It plays a key role in regulating blood sugar levels and helps cells take in glucose for energy production.
Does the other ovary takes over if one is removed?
Yes, the remaining ovary can compensate for the functions of the removed ovary. The remaining ovary may produce more eggs or take on a larger role in hormone production to maintain normal reproductive function.
What Thyroid condition if you take levothyroxine?
If you take levothyroxine you are taking thyroid hormone. The primary reason for taking thyroid hormone is to supplement or replace that which your own thyroid makes. Low thyroid hormone is known as hypothyroidism. Some physicians also prescribe levothyroxine if you have antithyroid antibodies. This condition is known as Hashitmoto's thyroiditis. The intent is to suppress your own body's production of thyroid hormone because this minimizes the attack of the immune system against the thyroid.
Which hormone is associated with the maintenance of the placenta?
There are a number of different hormones involved in pregnancy, and I will outline the main hormones and their purposes below:Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin - this is involved in the maintanence of the corpus luteum, which secretes progesterone and oestrogen during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, after which the placenta takes over production of these hormones. This hormone is secreted by the chorion/placenta.Oestrogen - initially secreted by the corpus luteum up to 12 weeks, after which placenta takes over secretion of this hormone.Oestrogen inhibits the hormones FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) and LH ( Lutenising hormone), both of which are involved in the process of ovulation in a menstruating woman. During pregnancy, menstruation must stop, and so Oestrogen inhibits these 2 hormones. It also acts on the uterus, causing growth of the uterus and increasing the sensitivity of the uterus to the hormone oxytocin which is involved in the processes of birth and lactation. It also inhibits the hormone prolactin, and thus inhibits lactation during pregnancy. However, it stimulates the development of the ductal system in the breasts in preparation for lactation after the baby has been born. Causes a softening and relaxing of the ligament of the pelvic girdle.Progesterone - again this is initially secreted by the corpus luteum, and later by the placenta. It stimulates the development of milk glands, and also inhibits the secretion of prolactin ( in order to stop lactation) and also inhibits FSH and LH. It stimulates growth and glandular activity of the uterus. It is essential for successful implantation and maintainence of the endometrium, stimulates endometrial glands to secrete nutrients taken up by the developing embryo and slightl supresses the mother's immune system so the foetus is not rejected. As a steroid hormone, it is transferred to the fetus and used by the fetus for production of fetal hormones by the fetal adrenals. It also quitens muscular contractions of the uterus to prevent premature expulsion of the fetus, causes mammary glands to develop and enhances their ability to produce milk.Human placental lactogen - hormone made in the placenta which gives foetus priority over maternal glucose and fatty acids. Also known as Human Chorionic Somatomammotrophin.Prolactin - secreted by the maternal anterior lobe of pituitary gland, it is essential for expression of oestrogen and progesterone on the mammary glands. Having said that, oestrogen (and progesterone) inhibits lactation until birth. When levels of Oestrogen and Progesterone then decrease after birth, prolactin can exert its effects fully and lactation can take place.Relaxin - Causes the relaxation of ligaments, softens the cervix and inhibits muscle contractions.
What is the permanant solution for hypothyriod?
The permanent solution for hypothyroidism is typically lifelong thyroid hormone replacement therapy. This involves taking synthetic hormones to make up for the lack of thyroid hormone production by the thyroid gland. Regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is necessary to adjust the dosage as needed.
What does HCG diet mean?
HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin which is a hormone produced by the placenta during pregnancy. The HCG diet requires you to take a drops of the hormone under your tongue or take a shot to trick the body into thinking it's pregnant thus promoting weight loss in men and women.

A hormone that prepares the body for pregnancy?
"Progesterone is the main hormone that effects changes in the female body so as to make it ready for pregnancy. Basically, this is the way it functions and the reason why it is vital: Role of Progesterone in Pregnancy Preparation: Thickens the Uterine Lining: Progesterone level rises after ovulation (egg release) to get the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) ready to accept a pregnancy. By making the uterine lining thicker, the hormone provides a safe habitat for the fertilized egg to get installed and develop within the mother. Progesterone level rises after ovulation (egg release) to get the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) ready to accept a pregnancy. By making the uterine lining thicker, the hormone provides a safe habitat for the fertilized egg to get installed and develop within the mother. After the fertilization, the levels of progesterone rise continually, and thus, the release of another egg is prevented from the ovaries. No wonder it is an important step for the organism, as there can be no double fertilization while a woman is already pregnant. Once a woman becomes pregnant the rise of progesterone is continuous so the ovaries are totally inhibited in their activity and they cannot release any more eggs. It is very important because double pregnancy is impossible. At the 8th week, the placenta starts to produce progesterone instead of the ovaries, but the hormone is still very necessary for the first few weeks of pregnancy to support the embryo until the placenta gradually takes over the production. Progressively, the production of progesterone will be transferred from the placenta instead of the ovaries, the change being around the 8th week, yet, the hormone is very important for the establishment of the pregnancy in the first stages until the placenta can take over. If you're planning a pregnancy or already expecting, they can offer consultations with OB-GYNs, prenatal care, and personalized health plans to ensure the best outcome for both you and your baby.
