Definition
The ovarian cycle describes the changes that occur to the developing egg during and after maturation within the ovary. The egg cells undergo a series of meiotic divisions so that the chromosomal number is halved, and each gamete only has one copy of genetic information. Immature follicles will mature to primary and then secondary oocytes within follicles (egg-containing sacs) until one mature follicle called a Graafian follicle releases the egg on the outside of the ovary. The remaining follicle will form a corpus luteum (see function on question 3508b), and if pregnancy does not occur, will degenerate into an inactive scar known as the corpus albicans.
Term
what is a corpus luteum? what happens to the corpus luteum if pregnancy does not occur?
Definition
The corpus luteum is a cellular mass that forms in the ovary from the follicle that remains after the egg has been released from the ovary. The corpus luteum secretes large amounts of progesterone to maintain the uterine lining for possible implantation of the embryo. If pregnancy does not occur, the corpus luteum begins to atrophy and progesterone levels decline, triggering the shedding of the endometrial lining, or menstruation. The corpus luteum becomes known as the corpus albicans, an inactive scar.
