Correct Answer is B
Explanation
A. Mucosa (mucous membrane): The mucosa is the innermost layer of the digestive tract, not the outermost. It includes the epithelium, lamina propria, and muscularis mucosae.
B. Serosa (mesentery): The serosa is the outermost layer of the digestive tract in parts where it is covered by peritoneum. It consists of a thin layer of areolar tissue topped by simple squamous epithelium.
C. Muscularis externa: The muscularis externa is a layer of muscle in the digestive tract, located beneath the serosa. It is not the outermost layer.
D. Submucosa: The submucosa is a layer of connective tissue located between the mucosa and muscularis externa. It is not the outermost layer.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
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.
