Luteinisation occurs after ovulation and the collapse of the follicle.

Luteinisation occurs after ovulation and the collapse of the follicle.

The number of [[The_Ovary_-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 [[The_Ovary_-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 [[The_Ovary_-Corpus_Luteum_- Anatomy & Physiology|corpus luteum]].

Control of [[The_Ovary_-Corpus_Luteum_- Anatomy & Physiology|corpus luteum]] formation and development as well as the production of [[Ovaries_Endocrine_Function_- Anatomy & Physiology#Progesterone|Progesterone]] by luteal cells is regulated principally by Luteinising Hormone.
