On What Organ is the Corpus Luteum Found

Question

On what organ is the corpus luteum found?
A) Uterus
B) Fallopian tube
C) Ovary
D) Vagina

Accepted Answer

The corpus luteum is found on the ovary, specifically on the surface of the ruptured follicle after ovulation. It is formed by the remaining follicular cells that are stimulated by luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland. The corpus luteum produces progesterone, a hormone that prepares the uterus for pregnancy.
