The somata of early-born Kenyon cells are pushed outward as more Kenyon cells are created. This results in a concentric pattern of cell bodies, with the somata of the last-born cells in the center, where the neuroblast had been, and the somata of the first-born cells at the outermost margins of the cell body area.

The corpus luteum (Latin for "yellow body"; pl.: corpora lutea) is a temporary endocrine structure in female ovaries involved in the production of relatively high levels of progesterone, and moderate levels of estradiol, and inhibin A. [1] [2] It is the remains of the ovarian follicle that has released a mature ovum during a previous ovulation. [3]
Newly produced smegma has a smooth, moist texture. It is thought to be rich in squalene [11] and contain prostatic and seminal secretions, desquamated epithelial cells, and the mucin content of the urethral glands of Littré. [9] Smegma contains cathepsin B, lysozymes, [12] chymotrypsin, neutrophil elastase and cytokines, which aid the immune ...
