Explanation:

Answer 2

HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) increases the secretion of estrogen and progesterone from placenta .

But why?

• This increased secretion of progesterone leads to maintanence of Graffian Follicle of pregnancy.

• It also stimulates CORPUS LUTEUM and helps it to release progesterone which prevent sloughing of the endometrium and prevents menstruation.

• Instead, it helps to maintain a favourable endometrium supporting pregnancy (favourable implantation and development of foetus).
