Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The corpus luteum is formed from the remnants of the follicle after ovulation and is responsible for producing progesterone and estrogens, which are crucial for preparing the uterus for implantation and maintaining a pregnancy. GnRH is released by the hypothalamus to stimulate the release of FSH and LH from the pituitary gland. FSH and LH are involved in follicle development and ovulation but are not produced by the corpus luteum. Testosterone is primarily produced by the testes in males and the ovaries in females, but not by the corpus luteum.
