Q

What produces HCG and what is its role?

A

It is first produces by the blastocyst and then the placenta.

Its role is to keep the corpus luteum going until the placenta takes over.

Key Functions:
-Stimulates production of progesterone from the corpus luteum
-Stimulates thyroid production of thyroxine
-Suppresses myometrial contractions
