Chapter 17, Problem 11CYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
The structure, apart from ovaries, that produces estrogen and progesterone.
Introduction:
The main source of the steroid sex hormone is the testes as well as ovaries. Progesterone is produced by follicle cells. Androgens are secreted in the ovary and are converted into estrogen. Progesterone, in pregnancy, is responsible for preparing the uterus. The reproductive organs are maintained by estrogen.
