The ruptured follicle of ovary after ovulation gives rise to corpus luteun which is the source for secretion of progesterone. This hormone is responsible for growth and maintenance of foetus. Oestrogen is produced by theca interna cells of Graafian follicles.
Male hormone called androgen is produced by interstitial calls of Leydig.
