Question
Chapter 19.1, Problem 1.5SR
Summary Introduction
To match: The term with the most closely related description “Presence of this hormone indicates pregnancy”.
Introduction: The maternal body as well as the placenta generate hormones that play numerous roles during pregnancy; for example, the human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) is a hormone, which is secreted by the trophoblast. During the early stages of pregnancy, the hCG hormone plays an important role in maintaining the corpus luteum and also retains the immune system from rejecting the blastocyst. Moreover, hCG simulates other essential hormones from the developing placenta.
