The rupture of the follicle lib- erates the ovum, which passes to the uterus by way of the Fallopian tube. The ruptured follicle then develops into a yellow body called the corpus luteum, which in turn produces a hormone called proges- terone. If the ovum is not fertilized, the corpus luteum grows for a few days and then gradually disappears to be replaced at monthly intervals by new follicles and ova. Modern chemistry has identified a number of estrogenic compounds, among which are (1) estrone or theelin, (2) estriol or theelol, (3) estradiol or dihydrotheelin, (4) equilin, and (5) equilenin. These estrogens are Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Mallette, M.
