corpus luteum (pop)

The egg follicle remnant left behind after an egg has been released during ovulation. The corpus luteum secretes the hormone progesterone to stimulate the growth of the endometrium.

The formation of the corpus luteum structure takes place after ovulation, primarily due to the activity of LH. The granulosa cells undergo what is known as luteinisation. These luteinised granulosa ce [..]

The yellow body derived from the ruptured Ovarian Follicle after Ovulation. The process of corpus luteum formation, Luteinization, is regulated by Luteinizing Hormone.

The yellow body derived from the ruptured OVARIAN FOLLICLE after OVULATION. The process of corpus luteum formation, LUTEINIZATION, is regulated by LUTEINIZING HORMONE.

(plural corpora lutea)   Means “yellow body”

 literally, a "yellow body" that forms in the ovary on the site where an egg has been released and that produces progesterone to facilitate a pregnancy.

The zona granulosa and theca cells remaining in the ovary after ovulation and some surrounding capillaries and connective tissue evolve into the corpus luteum.

The follicle from which the egg was released after ovulation. The Corpus Luteum produces progesterone, which is responsible for preparing and supporting the uterine lining for implantation.

(anatomy) A yellow mass of cells that forms from an ovarian follicle during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle in mammals; it secretes steroid hormones.

A yellow-colored cyst that forms from the ovarian follicle after it releases an egg. Once formed, the cyst produces estrogen and progesterone to prepare and support the uterine lining for implantation. CRYOPRESERVATION
