During ovulation, the mature follicle bursts and the ovum is released. After ovulation, the granulosa cells and the interstitial cells form a mass of large and yellowish conical cells. This is named as corpus luteum and serves as a temporary endocrine gland by releasing progesterone and oestrogen. If fertilization takes place, corpus luteum persists and enlarges by influence of LH (Luteinizing hormone).
