The follicle which liberates the ovum suffers the action of LH and is converted into the corpus luteum. The corpus luteum is very significant since it liberates the progesterone and the estrogen. These hormones practise the uterine mucosa, also called as endometrium, for the nidation (implantation of zygote in uterine wall) and embryonic development as they stimulate thickening of the mucous tissue, enlarge its vascularity and form the appearing of uterine glycogen-generating glands.
