True
hCG is detectable in a pregnant woman's blood after 8 days post fertilization. (T/F)
True
The corpus luteum may 1. degenerate into a corpus albicans if fertilization did not occur. 2. be rescued from degeneration by HCG if fertilization occurred. 3. continue to produce estrogen until the next follicle is ovulated.
1 and 2 are correct
The ovaries are held in position in the pelvic cavity by the 1. ovarian ligament. 2. suspensory ligament. 3. uterine tubes.
