The corpus luteum is formed from the ovary. The pituitary gland increases its production of the second hormone, luteinizing hormone (LH). This second hormone allows the mature egg to rupture from the ovary (called ovulation) and enter into the uterine tube. The postovulatory phase has begun. LH also encourages the formation of a "scar" within the ovary. This "scar" is called the corpus luteum, and it produces the hormone progesterone.
It becomes the corpus luteum.
A regressing corpus luteum indicates that the egg was not fertilized. As the corpus luteum regresses it loses its capacity to produce progesterone. A regressed corpus luteum is termed as corpus albicans. The lack of progestorone, which leads to the shedding of the uterine lining, is responsible for the menstrual cycle.
The corpus luteum is located within the ovary. It forms from the ruptured follicle after ovulation and plays a critical role in the menstrual cycle by producing progesterone.
The corpus luteum produces progesterone, which is a very important hormone for maintaining pregnancy. A corpus luteum or "yellow body" occurs after the mature follicle has been released from the ovum, then cells of the follicle change into the corpus luteum.
Lutein cells are the glandular-epithelial cells forming the outer layer of the corpus luteum. They develop from cells of the Graafian follicle.
corpus luteum
Progesterone is the primary hormone produced in the corpus luteum. Secondary is estrogen.
The corpus luteum is formed from the ruptured follicle after ovulation. It secretes progesterone, which helps prepare the uterus for implantation of a fertilized egg. If fertilization does not occur, the corpus luteum degenerates, causing a drop in progesterone levels that triggers the shedding of the uterine lining, leading to menstruation.
