#Unit 7. System Physiology – Animal
  1. It binds to luteinizing hormone receptors, stimulating the secretion of progesterone from the corpus luteum
  2. It blocks progesterone receptors so that progesterone has no effect within the body
  3. It blocks the secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone by the pituitary
  4. It blocks the effects of oxytocin receptors in the uterine muscle
