Corpora lutea constitute an accurate record of the number of eggs produced by the ovary as well as the number of eggs laid.
In the gravid females examined by me, number of corpora lutea on the ovaries was equal, in all but one instance, to the number of oviducal eggs.
Corpora lutea and corpora albicantia were studied under a binocular dissecting microscope.
Corpora albicantia remain on the ovary until April of the year following ovulation but disappear in May and are never present after the new set of eggs is ovulated.
Corpora lutea were glandular and filled with lipoidal material until the eggs were laid.
At this stage they are properly referred to as corpora albicantia and are discernible only after careful examination of the ovary under low magnification.
The high incidence of correspondence between counts of corpora lutea and counts of oviducal eggs indicates also that T.
Corpora lutea undergo rapid involution following oviposition and, after two to three weeks, are little more than small puckerings on the ovarian epithelium.
Corpora lutea are approximately eight millimeters in diameter and are easily discernible at least until the eggs are laid; they are somewhat less distinct after preservation.
Once they are ovulated, the eggs are exposed to but few hazards until laid; counts of corpora lutea are an accurate indication of the number of eggs laid.
Atresia of corpora lutea began when eggs were laid, was completed by mid-August, and was coincident with atresia of large follicles that did not undergo ovulation.
The pineal body is a reddish cone-shaped body situated upon the anterior pair of the corpora quadrigemina (see figs.
The mesencephalon or mid-brain, when looked at from the dorsal surface, shows a pair of large hollow swellings, the optic lobes or corpora bigemina.
In the mesencephalon fibres corresponding with those of the fillet of higher vertebrates can be seen, and there is a nucleus in the hinder part of the corpora bigemina foreshadowing the separation into corpora quadrigemina.
The cerebral hemispheres are also large, owing chiefly to the great size of the corpora striata, which already show a differentiation into caudate nucleus, putamen and globus pallidus.
Dorsal to the Sylvian aqueduct is a layer called the lamina quadrigemina and on this the corpora quadrigemina rest.
If the velum interpositum be now carefully raised from before backward, the optic thalami, third ventricle, pineal body and corpora quadrigemina are exposed.
Above, it communicates with the aqueduct of Sylvius, which is tunnelled below the substance of the corpora quadrigemina.
The pineal body is rudimentary, and the optic lobes are now, and throughout the Mammalia, subdivided into four corpora quadrigemina.
Immediately in front of the corpora quadrigemina, the white fibres of the posterior commissure pass across between the two optic thalami.
The superior peduncles, which descend from the corpora quadrigemina of the cerebrum, form connexions mainly with the corpus dentatum.
If a transverse section is made at right angles to the surface of the crura cerebri it will pass right through the mesencephalon and come out on the dorsal side through the corpora quadrigemina (see fig.
Faithful Lutherans everywhere received the Smalcald Articles into their corpora doctrinae.
Since 1570, the Corpora Doctrinae give the title, "The Large Catechism, German.
It was also received into the various corpora doctrinae.
Among thecorpora doctrinae which were gradually superseded by the Book of Concord are the following: 1.
Each of the lateral columns thus formed are subdivided into sections, termed respectively the Corpora Pyramidalia, the Corpora Olivaria, the Corpora Restiformia and the Posterior Pyramids.
The first pass upward and forward until they are blended with the tubercles of the corpora quadrigemina.
The inferior peduncles are the corpora restiformia, previously described, and consist of both sensory and motor filaments.
The corpora adiposa or fatty bodies lying in front of the kidneys.
The corpora adiposa lying in front of the kidneys.
The midbrain is represented chiefly by the optic lobes, the cortex of which alone is homologous with the corpora quadragemina of the mammals.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "corpora" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
