Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of ovulation: During the menstrual cycle, a mature follicle releases an egg in a process called ovulation.
Identify the structure involved: The Graafian follicle is the mature follicle that releases the egg.
Determine what happens post-ovulation: After the egg is released, the remnants of the Graafian follicle transform into a new structure.
Recognize the transformation: The remnants of the follicle become the corpus luteum, which is responsible for producing hormones like progesterone.
Consider the fate of the corpus luteum: If pregnancy does not occur, the corpus luteum degenerates into the corpus albicans, a fibrous scar tissue.
