The white fleshy oviduct is extruded, and the eggs are squeezed out. |
The ovary was grasped with a hemostat, a ligature was placed around the oviduct and blood vessels, and the ovary was removed. |
When the dominant follicle releases its egg into the oviduct, the ruptured follicle forms a corpus luteum on the ovary. |
Most intersexual reproductive tracts generated were composed of both male ejaculatory duct and female oviduct that were both attached directly to the spermathecae. |
In the octopods they may be fertilized as they pass through oviductal glands near the end of the oviduct. |
In a few species, immature eggs that enter the oviduct are eaten by the developing young. |
