Corpus Luteum: It is a temporary endocrine gland that is produced by the reminiscence of the Graafian follicle after ovulation. It secretes large amounts of progesterone and also some amounts of estrogen and inhibin A. The progesterone secreted by the it helps in maintaining the endometrium for implantation and pregnancy. If fertilization doesn’t occur, it degenerates and the endometrium disintegrates leading to menstruation.
Internal reproductive organs include two ovaries, two fallopian tubes, one uterus, and a vagina. It may be located in either of the ovaries, depending on which one is participating in the current menstrual cycle.
It is a small, saffron-yellow cyst-like structure, approximately 2 to 5 centimeters in size. It comprises a mass of cells of two types — follicular granulosa cells and follicular theca cells. During pregnancy, these cells maintain progesterone secretion under the influence of the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin, which is produced by the developing embryo.
