Question

The corpus luteum forms from a ruptured follicle and produces LH.
Options
A True
B False
Correct Answer
C
D
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The first part is true: the corpus luteum forms from the remnants of a ruptured ovarian follicle after ovulation. However, it does not produce LH. It produces progesterone and estrogen. LH (Luteinizing Hormone) is produced by the anterior pituitary and is responsible for triggering ovulation and forming the corpus luteum.

Hint

Does the corpus luteum make hormones that act on the uterus, or does it make a pituitary hormone?
