Ovaries (upper left) removed from a cow on day 5 after estrus. The left ovary contains a corpus hemorrhagicum (red) representing the recent ovulation, now rapidly growing and secreting increasing amounts of progesterone. A cross section of the left ovary (upper right) reveals the growing new corpus luteum (left). The left ovary also is shown in an ultrasonogram (lower left). The rapidly growing corpus luteum (2), the ovarian stroma (5) and an artifact (8) are labeled in a diagram of the ultrasonogram (lower right). The ruler units are cm.
