It releases human chorionic gonadotropic hormone (hCG) which stimulates the Corpus luteum during pregnancy to release estrogen and progesterone and also rescues corpus luteum from regression.

Progesterone maintains pregnancy, keeps the uterus silent by increasing uterine threshold to contractile stimuli.
