Practice Question

Which of the following is not true concerning the uterus?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

it produces estrogen.

Rationale:

▲ The uterus does not produce estrogen, as this hormone is secreted mainly by the ovaries through the developing follicles and corpus luteum.

▲ Instead, the uterus functions as the site of embryo implantation, where a fertilized egg attaches and begins development.

▲ It also plays a key role in menstruation, where the compact and spongy layers of the endometrium are shed when fertilization does not occur, and in childbirth, where powerful uterine contractions expel the infant.

▲ The claim that the uterus produces estrogen is not correct, since its role is structural and supportive, not hormonal.
