What does regressing corpus luteum indicate?
A regressing corpus luteum indicates that the egg was not fertilized. As the corpus luteum regresses it loses its capacity to produce progesterone. A regressed corpus luteum is termed as corpus albicans. The lack of progestorone, which leads to the shedding of the uterine lining, is responsible for the menstrual cycle.
What is corpus leudium in cattle?

Progesterone is the primary hormone produced in the corpus luteum. Secondary is estrogen.
Compare body temperatures with and without a functioning corpus luteum?
The main function of the corpus luteum is to produce progesterone, which increases the body temperature in preparation for the fertilized egg. Therefore, without a functioning corpus luteum there would be no increase in progesterone or temperature.
What causes the regression of the corpus luteum?
chorionic gonadotropin source http://www.vivo.colostate.edu/hbooks/pathphys/reprod/fert/mrop.html
What happens following ovulation?
The corpus luteum prepares to become a corpus albicans
Why does the corpus luteum deteriorate?
If the egg is not fertilized, the corpus luteum stops secreting progesterone and decays (after approximately 14 days in humans). It then degenerates into a corpus albicans, which is a mass of fibrous scar tissue. Progesterone will not be secreted, if corpus luteum will not degenerate.
