After ovulation, the granulosa cells from the ovulated follicledifferentiate into luteal cells. Steroid production by granulosacells in a developing follicle is different from those forming thecorpus luteum because:

choose the correct answer

secretion of hormones by the luteal cells has negative feedbackeffects on the hypothalamus and pituitary whereas secretion by thegranulosa cells has only positive feedback effects.

steroid hormone secretion by the granulosa cells mainly promotesthe formation of secretory glands in the endometrium, whereasluteal cell secretions mainly promote endometrialproliferation.

the luteal cells predominantly secrete estradiol, whereas thegranulosa cells mainly secrete estriol.

the granulosa cells have receptors for hCG (human chorionicgonadotropin), whereas luteal cells have no hCG receptors.

the granulosa cells have only FSH receptors whereas the lutealcells contain receptors for both FSH and LH and are therefore ableto synthesize more progesterone.
