Ovarian Cysts Corpus luteum cysts develop after the ovary releases its egg and the formed follicular cyst changes into a small hormone producing “yellow body”, also known as the corpus luteum. If the yellow body reaches a size of greater than 3 centimeters, it is then referred to as a cyst.

- The periosteum is a connective tissue that supports bone health and development. The thin tissue has two layers that function in different ways. The outer layer, known as the fibrous periosteum, allows for attachment of muscle tissue to the bone and provides pathways for blood and lymphatic tissues.

Stellium A stellium is defined as a group of several planet s in a single sign of the zodiac or a single house. In the example to the right the native has a stellium of four planet s in Leo, consisting of Jupiter, the Sun, Mercury and Saturn. A stellium is a multiple conjunction of planet s. It's a close cluster of three or more planet s in one sign and/or house. The planet s are clumped together (within 0 to 5 degrees). This puts an energetic emphasis in the sign and house where it is concentrated. THE STELLIUM - 4 or more planet s in the same House.

Rheum Rheum (/ˈruːm/; from Greek: ῥεῦμα, rheume, a flowing, rheum), also known as gound, is thin mucus naturally discharged from the eyes, nose, or mouth during sleep (cf. mucopurulent discharge). Rheum dries and gathers as a crust in the corners of the eyes or the mouth, on the eyelids, or under the nose. It is formed by a combination of mucus (in the case of the eyes, consisting of mucin discharged from the cornea or the conjunctiva), nasal mucus, blood cells, skin cells, or dust. Rheum from the eyes is particularly common. Dried rheum is in common usage called sleep, e.g., to have sleep in one's eyes.

Luteinizing hormone Luteinizing hormone. Luteinizing hormone (LH, also known as lutropin and sometimes lutrophin[1]) is a hormone produced by gonadotropic cells in the anterior pituitary gland. In females, an acute rise of LH (LH surge) triggers ovulation[2] and development of the corpus luteum.

- The corpus luteum is essential for establishing and maintaining pregnancy in females. The corpus luteum secretes progesterone, which is a steroid hormone responsible for the decidualization of the endometrium (its development) and maintenance, respectively.

Corpus luteum cyst A Corpus luteum cyst is a type of ovarian cyst which may rupture about the time of menstruation, and take up to three months to disappear entirely. A corpus luteum cyst rarely occurs at age 50+, because eggs are no longer being produced in menopausal women. Corpus luteum cysts may contain blood and other fluids.

RIXIMKA DUMARKA The corpus luteum secretes estrogens and progesterone. The latter hormone causes changes in the uterus that make it more suitable for implantation of the fertilized ovum and the nourishment of the embryo. If the egg is not fertilized, the corpus luteum becomes inactive after 10–14 days, and menstruation occurs.

Corpus Luteum The Corpus Luteum is formed in the ovary. It arises from Granulosa cells that remain in the wall of the ruptured follicle, after the oocyte has been extruded into the Uterine tube. Granulosa cells, together with the cells of Theca Interna, are vascularized by surrounding vessels.

Corpus luteum The corpus luteum is a temporary endocrine structure in female ovaries and is involved in the production of relatively high levels of progesterone, moderate levels of estradiol, inhibin A and small amounts of estrogen. It is the remains of the ovarian follicle that has released a mature ovum during a previous ovulation. It is colored as a result of concentrating carotenoids from the diet and secretes a moderate amount of estrogen to inhibit further release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone and t

- The pineal gland, also known as the pineal body, conarium or epiphysis cerebri, is a small endocrine gland in the vertebrate brain.It produces melatonin, a serotonin derived hormone, which affects the modulation of sleep patterns in both seasonal and circadian rhythms.he pineal gland is the only midline brain structure that is unpaired (azygous). It takes its name from its pine-cone shape. The gland is reddish-gray and about the size of a grain of rice (5–8 mm) in humans.

Corpus luteum The corpus luteum is made up of lutein cells (from the Latin luteus, meaning “saffron-yellow”), which develop immediately following ovulation, when yellow pigment and lipids accumulate within the granulosa cells lining the follicle. The size of the corpus luteum is highly variable.
