What is Corpus Luteum? imageA Corpus Luteum forms in the ovary
Corpus Luteum in a very simple language, is a number of cells that form in the ovary during the early pregnancy. The Corpus Luteum is in charge of the production of progesterone but in very technical or scientific way, the corpus luteum is an endocrine structure, and don't forget it only forms during pregnancy so it's a temporary endocrine structure that produces progesterone in relatively high levels, estradiol and inhibin A in moderate levels and estrogen in small levels.

The phase is what leads to the formation of the corpus luteum, it starts on the 15th day and ends with the menstrual cycle–the 28th day. It is important to know that usually, in this phase eggs burst from their follicle making the follicle to rupture but the follicle stays on the surface of the ovary anyway. After two weeks the ruptured follicle would have completely transformed to a "Corpus Luteum." The Corpus Luteum then begins to release progesterone and estrogen in high and low quantities respectively.

    Revolutionary Mothers: Women in the Struggle for America’s Independence is a book inciting women’s roles during the Revolutionary war and all the struggles they had to deal with and overcome. In the introduction chapter the author, Carol Berkin, discusses how in the history books they seem to tell the Revolutionary war as “both a quaint and harmless war” (Berkin, pg.ix) when in fact it was the complete opposite. When talking about this particular war no one really acknowledges the women’s role and how significant they were. The women that most people know of to be associated to the war are Abigail Adams, Betsy Ross, and Molly Pitcher but what they are known for is not accurate. With this being said, Berkin wrote this book to take a “closer…

    Throughout the article the author provided elaborate examples of what it would be like if men had their periods. As I read there were things that I agreed with but i also disagreed with altogether. For instance, when it mentioned how menstruation would be viewed as the number one thing for men to boast about but in reality I believe they would become violent because men usually make things into a competition without hesitation. So this could result in either a very violent act or it could result in lower suicide rates because they would be expressing their emotions due to hormonal mood swings. I do agree that it would be publicized as an award or a milestone of achievement if they were able to menstruate, the only thing I fail to understand was that if men could menstruate would they automatically become feminine?…

Three – four days after it has been fertilised the monula will move from the fallopian tube and will enter the uterus. At about six days the monula will form a hollow cavity which is known as a blastocyst. The blastocyst will burrow itself into the uterus lining this is called implantation.…
