This document summarizes ovulation and corpus luteum lutelysis. It describes the process of oogenesis where oogonia develop into primary and secondary oocytes. It explains that ovulation occurs when the preovulatory follicle ruptures and releases the secondary oocyte. After ovulation, the collapsed follicle forms the corpus hemorrhagicum and later the corpus luteum, which secretes progesterone. The LH surge stimulates ovulation and luteinization. Ovulation can be spontaneous or induced. The corpus luteum will lutelize due to secretion of PGF2α by the uterus, except in cases where the uterus is removed or contains a fetus, inflammation, or foreign body.
