corpus hemorrhagicum
CH
A transient, mesoderm-derived structure in the ovary that forms immediately after the rupture of a mature ovarian follicle during ovulation. It is formed by bleeding of small blood vessels in the follicle wall as the follicle collapses, resulting in a blood-filled center that rapidly clots. This structure develops into the corpus luteum.
