Ovary - Corpus Luteum
Histology image shows the theca lutein cells and granulosa lutein cells. These cells work together in the production of for
Theca Lutein Cells
- the darker stained cells.
- derived from the theca interna of the original follicle.
- lack microvilli on the surface.
- lack the aromatase enzyme.
- produce androgens for the granulosa lutein cells to convert.
Granulosa Lutein Cells
- the lighter stained cells.
- derived from the granulosa cells of the follicle.
- contain aromatase enzyme.
- produce estrogen and progesterone from the androgens produced by the theca lutein cells.
