Luteinisation occurs after ovulation and the collapse of the follicle.
Luteinisation occurs after ovulation and the collapse of the follicle.
The number of [[Corpus Luteum - Anatomy & Physiology|corpora lutea]] formed in the ovary at any one time is directly proportional to the number of oocytes ovulated. Therefore many [[Corpus Luteum - Anatomy & Physiology|corpora lutea]] will be visible on the ovary of [[Gestation_-Litter_Sizes_- Anatomy & Physiology|polytocous]] animals. During Luteinisation there is an increase in both the size and weight due to hyperplasia (increase in cell number) and hypertrophy (increase in cell size) within the developing [[Corpus Luteum - Anatomy & Physiology|corpus luteum]].
