Corpus Luteum is latin for "yellow body". The Corpus Luteum is the structure formed during luteinisation of the follicle after ovulation. The corpus luteum is, however, actually only yellow in the cow and in all other domestic species it is red. This colouration of the corpus luteum is due to the pigment, '''lutein'''.
