Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is secreted from the placenta.

  • During pregnancy, the placenta's syncytiotrophoblastic cells largely generate the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin.
  • To keep the pregnancy going, the hormone stimulates the corpus luteum to release progesterone.
  • Along with the pituitary, the liver, and the colon, other organs that produce less HCG include the colon.
  • The two subunits of HCG are HCG alpha and HCG beta .
  • HCG injections are frequently used to promote ovulation in assisted reproductive treatments because they boost progesterone production in the corpus luteum during the early stages of pregnancy.
  • It signals the body to stop menstruating and thickens the uterine lining to support a developing embryo.
  • After fertilization, HCG levels increase and stay elevated for another 10 weeks or more of pregnancy.

What part of DNA determines traits?
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

The traits of a living thing depend on the complex mixture of interacting components inside it. Proteins do much of the chemical work inside cells, so they largely determine what those traits are. But those proteins owe their existence to the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), so that is where we must look for the answer.

What is the name of the cell that activates CD4 and CD8 cells?
julsineya [31]

Hey there! Let's solve the problem:

CD4 T cells activate CD8 T cells through an underhanded cycle including an antigen presenting cell (APC), customarily a standard dendritic cell (DC). An APC presents a peptide to a true CD4 T cell through a Class II MHC molecule.
