Question

What are the white remains of the Graafian follicle left after its rupture called?

• A. Corpus luteum
• B. Corpus callosum
• C. Corpus delicti
• D. Corpus handi

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Corpus luteum

The Graafian follicle ruptures to release the egg into the fallopian tube. The ruptured Graafian follicle results in the filling of its lumen with theca and granulosa cells, which pigment it white. This degrading follicle is hence called corpus luteum, which is then transformed into corpus albicans.
