The hormone hCG is produced from the syncytiotrophoblast cells of the developing embryo. This hormone is responsible for maintaining the corpus luteum during pregnancy for 3-4 months so that the corpus luteum continues to produce progesterone. Progesterone is needed to prevent a menstual cycle while pregnant. After 3-4 months, the placenta takes over the production of progesterone.

What hornmone secreted by the corpus luteum maintain the uterine lining during the 1st trimester of pregnancy?

Progesterone is the hormone secreted by the corpus luteum that maintains the uterine lining during the first trimester of pregnancy. It is essential for supporting the growth and development of the embryo.


What is the function of the corpus luteum?

The corpus luteum secretes progesterone & other hormones to maintain early pregnancy which maintains the uterine lining during the first months of pregnancy.The corpus luteum in the ovary results from the release of an egg. It now produces progesterone to maintain the endometrium of the uterine walls.The corpus luteum is a "yellow body". Before it released the egg, it was white and referred to as the corpus albicans (white body).


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 causes luteolysis?

Prostaglandin F2alpha is the hormone responsible for triggering luteolysis, the regression of the corpus luteum in the ovary. This process leads to the cessation of progesterone production in non-pregnant animals.


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.

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.
