PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Progesterone is a hormone released by the corpus luteum in the ovary. It plays important roles in the menstrual cycle and in maintaining the early stages of pregnancy.

Detailed explanation-2: -The major hormones secreted by the ovaries are oestrogen and progesterone, both important hormones in the menstrual cycle.

Detailed explanation-3: -Progesterone plays an important role in your menstrual cycle and pregnancy. Progesterone creates a healthy uterine lining to support a fertilized egg, embryo and fetus. If progesterone levels are too low during pregnancy, it could cause complications such as bleeding or miscarriage.

Detailed explanation-4: -What hormones do the ovaries produce? Your ovaries secrete estrogen and progesterone.

Detailed explanation-5: -In response to this release of GnRH, the anterior pituitary will release FSH and LH, which will subsequently act on the gonads. In the female ovary, this release of FSH and LH on the gonads causes the release of progesterone.
