The fertilized egg secretes human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). Its primary function is to maintain the corpus luteum, which in turn produces progesterone necessary for sustaining the pregnancy in the early stages. hCG also helps to inhibit ovulation and menstruation, ensuring that the uterine environment remains suitable for the developing embryo.
What else can I help you with?
What is the hormone that maintains the lining of the uterus for a fertilized egg?
Progesterone is the hormone responsible for maintaining the lining of the uterus for a fertilized egg by promoting its growth and development. It helps create a suitable environment for implantation and supports early pregnancy.
The hormone that works with estrogen to prepare the endometrium for implantation of a fertilized egg is?
Progesterone is the hormone that works with estrogen to prepare the endometrium for implantation of a fertilized egg. It helps thicken the lining of the uterus and maintain a suitable environment for pregnancy.
How does the body's natural processes work in preventing implantation of a fertilized egg?
The body's natural processes prevent implantation of a fertilized egg by creating a hostile environment in the uterus through changes in hormone levels and the uterine lining, making it difficult for the fertilized egg to attach and grow.
Which hormone is responsible for thickening the endometrium?
the hormone responsible for thickening the endometrium is progesterone.
What is the function of the human egg cell?
to get fertilized by sperm and turn into a baby
What is the hormone produced in the ovaries?
EstrogenA hormone produced by the female reproductive system is called estrogen. It regulates the release of the ovum from the ovary, down the Fallopian tube, and into the uterus. If the egg is fertilized, no new eggs will drop for nearly a year. If it is not fertilized, a new egg will drop in roughly 28 days.
How soon after ovulation does the egg implant in the uterus?
After you ovulate, your egg waits to be fertilized for apprx 24 hours. If the egg is fertilized, it takes the fertilized egg about 5-12 days to travel to the uterus and implant itself in the lining. I have read that the average time for implantation is 8 days past ovulation.
Why is it necessary for an egg to be fertilized?
It is necessary for an egg to be fertilized so the egg can hatch.
What is a fertilized female egg cell called?
A fertilized egg cell is when a sperm enters an egg. The result is a fertilized egg cell, or a zygote.
Is A zygote is a fertilized egg.?
Yes, a zygote is a fertilized egg.
What happens to prepare the uterus for a fertilized egg?
Before a fertilized egg can implant, the uterus undergoes a series of changes during the menstrual cycle, particularly in the luteal phase. Following ovulation, the hormone progesterone is released, causing the uterine lining (endometrium) to thicken and become more vascular and nutrient-rich. This prepares a supportive environment for the potential implantation of a fertilized egg. If fertilization occurs, the embryo will implant into this prepared lining; if not, hormone levels drop, leading to menstruation.
Why you have periods?
A period (more technically known as a menstrual cycle) is the result of hormonal changes occurring in your body on a regular basis as your body prepares itself for the possibility of carrying a child. Every month, your body produces a hormone called estrogen, the purpose of which is to produce an egg from your ovaries and to build a fertile lining in your uterus to support the egg if it is fertilized. After the egg is released from the ovary, it travels into the fallopian tube into the uterus, where if you have had sex, it may be fertilized and attach to the uterine lining, where it will grow into a baby. The space where the egg was becomes a luteal cyst and begins to secrete progesterone, which keeps the lining of the uterus healthy for the growing baby. If the egg is unfertilized, after a few days the progesterone hormone levels fall and the uterine lining begins to weaken and shed, what you know as your "period."
