In ovulation, after expelling the oocyte the follicle becomes ____________which produces_____________.
corpus luteum; FSH and LH
corpus albicans; progesterone
corpus albicans; estrogen and progesterone
corpus luteum; estrogen and progesterone
The Correct Answer is D
A. Corpus luteum; FSH and LH: The follicle transforms into the corpus luteum after ovulation, which secretes hormones. However, FSH and LH are hormones secreted by the pituitary gland, not products of the corpus luteum.
B. Corpus albicans; progesterone: The corpus albicans is a degenerated form of the corpus luteum and is not responsible for secreting progesterone.
C. Corpus albicans; estrogen and progesterone: The corpus albicans forms after the corpus luteum degenerates and does not produce significant levels of estrogen and progesterone.
D. Corpus luteum; estrogen and progesterone: After ovulation, the follicle transforms into the corpus luteum, which secretes estrogen and progesterone to support the early stages of pregnancy or regulate the menstrual cycle if pregnancy does not occur.

Correct Answer is C
Explanation
A. The small intestine absorbs lipids but does not produce HDL (high-density lipoprotein).
B. The pancreas produces enzymes and hormones, but it does not produce HDL.
C. The liver is the primary organ responsible for the synthesis of HDL. HDL is involved in reverse cholesterol transport, carrying cholesterol from tissues back to the liver.
D. The gallbladder stores and concentrates bile but does not produce HDL.
Correct Answer is B
Explanation
A. the embryo; part of the placenta. The embryoblast (inner cell mass) will become the embryo, but the trophoblast will become part of the placenta, not the embryo.
B. part of the placenta; the embryo. The trophoblast forms part of the placenta and helps in its development, while the embryoblast (inner cell mass) will develop into the embryo.
C. part of the placenta; the yolk sac. While the trophoblast does contribute to the formation of the placenta, the embryoblast (inner cell mass) develops into the embryo, not the yolk sac. The yolk sac is derived from extraembryonic mesoderm and endoderm, not the inner cell mass directly.
D. the embryo; the yolk sac. The embryoblast (inner cell mass) develops into the embryo, but the trophoblast does not become the yolk sac. The yolk sac is formed from structures surrounding the embryo, not from the trophoblast itself.
