Question

The death of the corpus luteum results in the formation of __________.

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer would be corpus albicans.

Explanation:

After ovulation, the ovarian follicle converts into corpus hemorrhagicum. After some time, it converts into a temporary endocrine structure termed as corpus luteum. It maintains high levels of progesterone which is necessary for maintenance of uterus lining.

However, in absence of pregnancy or fertilisation, the corpus luteum starts degrading and convert into the structure termed as corpus albicans.
