Solution
Corpus Luteum:
The Corpus luteum lies within the ovary.
It is the largest follicle that contains the egg released by the ovary.
It plays an important role in the mensural cycle and early stages of pregnancy.
The hormone that helps form the corpus luteum is the luteinizing hormone secreted from the anterior pituitary and induces ovulation from Graafian follicles.
