  corpora lutea (corpus luteum)
  Definition: Corpus luteum is 1 to 2 cm, round yellow, lobulated structure with cystic center. It has luteinized granulosa and theca cells.
  In pregnancy, coprus luteum is larger, bright yellow with prominent central cavity, hyaline droplets and calcification. Progesterone from the corpus luteum maintains the uterus for implantation.
  The corpus luteum secretes progesterone which induces a secretory endometrium. It normally regresses in 14 days unless it is (...)

  Cortical layers
  The molecular layer I, which contains few scattered neurons and consists mainly of extensions of apical dendrites and horizontally-oriented axons; some Cajal-Retzius and spiny stellate neurons can be found.
  The external granular layer II, which contains small pyramidal neurons and numerous stellate neurons.
  The external pyramidal layer III, which contains predominantly small and medium-size pyramidal neurons, as well as non-pyramidal neurons with vertically-oriented (...)

• lens
  25 November 2003

  More than 99% of the vertebrate ocular lens is comprised of terminally differentiated lens fiber cells.
  As occurs in mammalian red blood cells, lens fiber cell differentiation includes the loss of all membranous cytoplasmic organelles.
  Unlike red blood cells, however, the lens fiber cell is not destroyed after a limited life span but survives for the life of the organism. The extreme changes in cellular architecture that occur during differentiation require extensive remodeling of the (...)
