Q

What is the function of the hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin)?

It causes the uterine lining to slough off or shed to maintain pregnancy.

It stimulates the production of FSH by the pituitary.

A

It signals the corpus luteum to continue producing estrogen and progesterone to maintain the pregnancy.
