Which Structure is the Primary Secretor of Estrogen and Progesterone

Question

Which structure is the primary secretor of estrogen and progesterone?
A) Corpus albicans
B) Endometrium
C) Ovaries
D) Anterior pituitary gland

Accepted Answer

The ovaries are the primary secretor of estrogen and progesterone. The corpus albicans is formed from the corpus luteum after the release of an egg, and it does not secrete estrogen or progesterone. The endometrium is the lining of the uterus and does not secrete hormones. The anterior pituitary gland produces follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which stimulate the ovaries to produce estrogen and progesterone, but it is not the primary secretor of these hormones.
