The follicle increases in size and a follicular fluid accumulates. When the pituitary hormones reach certain concen- trations the follicle wall breaks and the ovum is lib- erated. The empty follicle becomes filled with a spe- cial type of cell and forms a solid body, the corpus luteum. If fertilization does not ensue, the corpus luteum degenerates and a small body of scar tissue marks the DEGENERATION OF CORPUS LUTEUM S
