Corpus luteum gets converted into corpus...

Corpus luteum gets converted into corpus albicans in absence of fertilization.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

If the ovum is not fertilized, then corpus luteum stops the production of progresterone and starts degenerating. This degenerated body loses yellow colour and looks white due to lack of lutein, the yellow lipid. Hence there is conversion of corpus luteum into corpus albicans.
